    As the title says I'm putting a 90 5.0 in my Maverick. Which headers should I use? I was looking at the Mac Long Tubes with 3in collectors. Any one have any opinions? My Maverick is a c-4 automatic with a column shift. Thanks in advance :)

    Do a Search on Column shifter headers .... it will take some modifications to get your setup to work. Hooker 6901 is the only way to go ..

    You're not being rude, its fine. I did do a search for the column shifters, maybe I was looking in the wrong place, but I couldn't find anything

    Alright that helps some so thank you. Since it is a fox body (1990) 302 there are a few things that are different though so

    a 302 is a 302, the'll all go in the same way and header fit will be the same. run a few searches "302 swap" "Headers" "floor shift conversion" theres alot of info on here already.

    good luck
