Boss 302 into a 65?

[CloneRanger]

Anyone done one?
What headers do the job?
I might be building up a Boss 302clone motor and might be winding up with fitting it to my 65 fastback. I'd guess the shorter deck height of the 302Windor block means that Clevo headers won't fit?

Thanks
Ben

That swap has definitely been done. You're correct - the 351 Cleveland/Clevor headers will hang too low on the 289/302 block. However, headers made for the '69-'70 Boss 302 *should* fit the '65.

Check over at www.fordpowertrain.com - I'm pretty sure they have Boss 302 4-into-one headers to fit the '65-'70 Mustang and Cougar.
