I bought a 351 windsor for my 84 capri (mustang). I'm pist because all the long tube headers for a 351 mustang are too expensive. If I buy 302 headers will they some what fit and get away with it. Is there headers for another vehicle that would fit. Im guessing no on all these answers. Never know though.

Don't get too excited. You'll have to modify your H-pipe which will be too short because a 351's deck height is higher.

just get 351w swap shortie's. they are good enough for me to run 11's. yah i know the long tubes would allow for more hp but if you are on a budget then the shorties will work fine.

The H pipe I bought from jegs never fit right any way when I had the 302 in it with the shorty headers. Anyone else buy the Jegs H pipe and didnt fit correctly?
