Summit headers will they fit?

Compare Hooker 6901HKR and Summit G9031

Has anybody installed the summit headers with success?
Either in a car with 302 or a 351

The price is much better.

I have a 351W with 302 heads and cut towers.

Which is better?

 

Summit ones don't fit.

The search feature is very helpful:

i sent my summit ones back and ordered the hooker 6901's.

 

6901's didn't fit mine worth a damn, hit the steering arm, cleared everything else though

 

i bought them.. they DO NOT fit.. Hooker Headers fit great, butt cost twice as much as the summit headers

 

i put the summits on my sons mav. knew i was gonna cut them up a bit anyway, so didnt want to pay a lot in case i really mess them up. redid pipes by steering box, and 1 on the pass side. worked fine, then.

 

Thanks guys, I did a search, and found lots of conflicting information.

I think it's time to put up a monster thread about the "headers issue" something like "I put manufacturer header type # in my maverick/comet and I can prove it" and then pics and a small article...



It's funny though that Summit is advertising these headers in they're catalog and there are even installation instructions for the maverick on the website. I guess somebody must have told them that they don't fit.

 

i have the 6901's on mine. i took the tranny out last month and had to remove the passenger side. came right out from the bottom. if you need to take the drivers side out you have to undue the motor mount and lift the engine a bit. also if you have power steering you have to get the extension for it and you need to use a floor shift or modify the linkage.

 

Just what Dave said above - redo two pipes (cylinider 7 and 8) around the steering box and #3 on th passenger side. Then they fit like a glove after dimpling the collector around steerling arm.

Short answer - NO. Stay away.

Who has the Hedman shorties on their Maverick? How's the fit?...

 

My FLOW TECH's fit like a glove.......OJ's but they fit.

 

I also have FlowTech headers. No problems, and they have lasted over 6yrs. Not bad for $98.

 

I didn't find any flowtech headers for the maverick/comet on the holley site where can I find info on these headers?

 

I found mine locally, but J.C. Whitney carries them. The part# is 1201.

 

Earl - Are you running a 302? broncoisl said he has a 351. Have you had success with a 351 and these headers or know who has?
