    if you do a search you will find a bunch of info

    i have a set of summit racing headers on my 72 mav i paid $110 shipped to my door

    you will need to buy a drop bracket for the power steering ram $25 bucks at a mustang shop

    is there an easy fix to still use the column shift? I see comments on a cable conversion but no details after that.

    Does the size of the AOD come in to play? they work with a C4

    I had to pie cut the passenger header to clear the width of my AOD. The driver side header clears.

    this had nothing to do with the column shift but I had to heat and bend the pass. out 1.5" to clear the pan rail...:thumbs2:

    I also heated my headmans and bent them outward to give more clearance on the pan (they were 1/4" away ) before i moved them
