In Reply to: Mustang headers on a Maverick? posted by Don V on March 23, 2001 at 09:05:57:
: I got a 71 Comet with a factory 302. I just scored a pair of free headers, they're stock Mustang 5.0 headers. I was hoping these might be able to be made to fit my Comet. I am willing to do modifications to make them fit (like smack the shit outta them with a hammer if that's what it takes). Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.
Don, there is only about 3 1/2 inches from the head to the spring towers. The 5L headers sweep out much farther and the outlets are at an angle so nogo on trying to use them.
Go with long tubes there not that expensive. You would have to fab head pipes in either case.
