Title: 351W AOD Headers?
Post by: 88 Blackbird 5.0 on September 06, 2007, 08:47:52 AM

Can anyone tell me which long-tube headers will fit around an AOD in an '88 T-Bird with a 351W? Will both Mac & BBK long tubes fit? Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try Hooker or Kooks...I think the BBK's only fit with manual trans applications...I have Mac Longtubes on my 302...not the best in the world, but I got them before Mac jacked up their prices about 10-11months ago.

Hooker, or Kooks headers will be more likely to fit my application, or are you recommending them because they both make higher quality headers than Mac, or BBK?

both are significantly higher quality and as far as fitting with an AOD, you should always ask the sales rep before ordering your parts just to be certain...Mac headers never seem to fit just right and I've heard problems with BBK...plus I don't think they make a long-tube 351 header for use with AOD's.
