Headers for maverick

iv been doing alot of research of certain headers to fit into the maverick i have a later style 302 in a 71 maverick i heard that its a nightmare to get headers to fit in this car, what headers do you guys run and think will work the best for my setup?

 

Headers

I run hedman 88300 on my 71Comet fit good with no mods

 

Doug Thorley shorties. Only problem was the pitman arm hit the collector on max left turn. Exhaust guy threw away the collector and made a slight S-curve in the DS pipe -- problem solved.

 

As long as you have regular angle plug heads you wont have any issue with headers. Hooker 6901 are another option. Oh and if your planning to run power steering you need a drop down bracket.

 

Hooker 6901's.

 

Have to mention that column shift automatic linkage may create an issue with headers.

 

thanks guys these are deff some options i will consider i swaped the car to 5 speed not done with the conversion yet but i was just worried bout the shock tower clearence

 

hooker vs hedman

i recently replaced a set of rusted of out set hedmans for hookers. i feel the hedmans had more clearence for my 351w but the hookers are much thicker walled tubing and seem to have performance in mind much better fitting head to flange. summed up the hedman seem esier to install but the hooker 6901 are a much better looking header(looking at the performance capability). And i bought the hooker 6901 cheaper than i could find the heddman 88300.

 

Headers on a 351W is a WHOLE nother story. Especially if your using 302 headers.
