Bassani headers between 302 and 351

[HotFox]

Looking to confirm compatibility. These were on my 302 they are 1-3/4 to 1-7/8. Will these fit my 351 that I am building now? I am using the same heads, AFR's. As you can see they hang low hence the added skid plates.

Would really like to use these on my 351 build.

How much room between the strut tower and the header tubes did you have with the 302?
The heads on the 351 will sit 1" higher and about 1" wider per side compared to the 302
Also the steering shaft on the drivers side may be a point of clearance concerns

From everything I heard only shorty 302 headers will swap over to a 351, use of a longer mid Pipe to reach them.
The longtube will not come down enough to clear the firewall. It's a shame cause those bassamis are sweeeet.

Shoot! Yeah it was tight between the strut towers but the closes interference was at the frame rail itself. I was hoping with the engine being taller it would be further away since it would be in the tapered area.

Thanks for the replys!

Since you own them I guess you can try them on to see if they fit.....

I agree with limp bang: yeah I know. You may get lucky.
New headers a pricey.

Thanks for posting those pictures! I'm slowly installing mine and they help out with the jigsaw puzzle that came in the box.
