Im going to get 351w swap headers, either the shortys or the long tubes. My question is, with the shorty 351w swap headers, will I be able to use my bassani x pipe that is for a 302? If not, I will just go with the long tubes and matching x pipe. I heard from there on the catback would bolt right up correct?

you should be able to. I may hang down a little lower, since the 351 headers are made to fit the higher deck height on the Fox body.

The 351w swap shorty headers will let you use 302 based H-pipe or X-pipe. I used the mac swap 351 shorty headers with a stock cat H-pipe, and later a 0ffroad H-pipe

Yep, its kind of one of the reasons to use the 351 swap headers instead of trying to make the 302 headers work....
