I would like to put headers on my 84 ,302, t bird.
What ones will fit easily with no alterations to be made to the car.
I d like part numbers ?
Stock Mustang headers fit fine. You won't be able to re-use your original exhaust though. You'll need a Mustang H-pipe or custom exhaust.
So any aftermarket mustang header will work?
For a 5.0 stang, yeah. Longtubes I'm unsure of but I know people have used them
I want to use shorties. Looking for part numbers from people that have had trouble free installation
About any of the shorties fit the engine compartment of a '84, but some may interfere with the column shift linkage...
NONE fit the stock exhaust system...
Agreed, I tried this with my Mac shorties... didn't work. you MUST use an aftermarket H pipe. I did Summit 2.5" Catless H pipe for $104. And then I got my headers for $50 Shipped as a steal
you guys know what i did?
the stang shorties i have did nto mate to my stock exhaust s correctly due to size and alignment but were barealy there.
to get the shorty to mate to my y pipe, i slid the down on the end of each side of my y-pipe,, stuck it up on an exhaust expander which a shop down the road has. I got each side swelled out to the right size matching the shortie.
next i had to tweek my y-pipe about a grand total of 1'' inwards towards each other using a come along and it fit.
basically, if in a situation where you arent going to switch up the whole exhaust, your existing y-pipe s need swelled.
just fyi
mine seals up ok but barely. No leaking that i saw or heard.
