    Are those tri-Y headers designed to fit your Maverick or do you plan to modify the shock towers?

    this Y headers when I buy them they told me that they will fit in the maverick ? They look good but, already they have a problem the L/S is to close to the transmission and the linkage hit the header. This is my first attempt to try to restore a vehicle I will solve the problems how it comes now I believe this headers was made for 64 to 66 mustangs thanks for asking , I don’t planning to cut or modify the shock towers !!! If anything I will change the headers

    Those Tri Ys are pretty. Let us know if you are forced to buy different headers and need some expert advice. No point in making a second error based on a salesperson's recommendation.

    Started the 5.0 HO swap into the '75. Got the old 200 out and test fit the engine. Need to do the shock tower notch before final fitup.
