    Would factory 302 shorty headers work in a 72 Comet?

    I think several guys have tried them, but I have never seen a set actually installed. I think they stick out to the sides too far and hit the shock towers.

    Anyone?:huh:

    I second that!
    However you can get shorty headers for it. One of our members works with Doug Thorley and they make them for our cars...or most of them. Won't work with my toploader linkage. :cry: If you're interested type in Doug Thorley shorty headers in the search box and you should find the thread on them.
    Here's your guy: user name is "69 ina 1/2"
