well i am trying to decide between hooker headers and these http://store.summitracing.com/partd...925079+4294908284+4294840126+115&autoview=sku do you think that these will fit? and has anybody had these how are they? i have a 72 automatic 302.
They'll fit for the most part. Like any other Mav header, you need to consider a few things. Column shift auto will not work without some fabbing/welding on the stock linkage. Best to use a floor mount cable shifter. If you have power steering, you will need the drop bracket. (inexpensive) That's about it. They go in best from underneath just like Hookers. Jack the engine a little off the frame stands, and the car doesn't have to be jacked up super high.
ok well i do have power steering and column shift, will i have to do any upgrades to my engine before i put the headers on?
Cam, port n polish, bigger carb, shaved towers... I see you asked before buying, verry smart to do this with most ideas. If I missed the intro,
You need no mods to your engine whatsoever for those headers to benefit you. They increase torque, HP, MPG, sound better, and allow the engine to run cooler. Those things that Gene recommended will certainly magnify the effectiveness of headers, but are not manditory to get gains.
Ratio is correct, I was razzing ya. I personaly am considering these when I need more... http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=24841&highlight=shorties
WOA those look great, that might of changed my mind but how much is he asking (couldnt find a price). i put new spark plugs and wires on and it tiook a while, (it was my first time changing spark plugs and the passengers side look FOREVER) but it sounds great. i have around 400 dollars but not sure what to get next, any suggestions.
If you click his name you can PM (private message) him and ask. I asked in the thread just now but don't know if he'll answer that way. I would like some chrooome ones.
http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=24841&page=4 The last message on the page tells the price. Call the number to order. I have two sets so far. The prototypes and a production set for the "project car". They look better in person than in pictures and work great. A satisfied customer here.
