I have a 1969 Mustang with a stock 302-2v motor. I also have a pair of used GT40P head with headers that I would like to use. Does anyone know if I can use my stock head bolts? Or, will I have to buy the Ford# M-6065-D289 bolts for $100+ bucks?

Yep, the MAC headers fit, no clearance issues to speak of, allthough I did have to use 90degree boots on the plug wires to clear. If your planning on buying headers anyways its no extra cost.
I don't know if these "special" headers will fit a "normal" set of heads or not.
Has anyone tried the 'P' heads with standard late 60s 289 / 302 exhaust manifolds, for plug clearance?
I got a great deal on a set of these heads, and am thinking of putting them on my 68 Cougar. Headers are a PITA to me as well, unless they are top-notch. I'm not impressed by the quality of MAC headers long-term. The only other specific 'P' headers for early cars I'm aware of are the set from Ford Powertrain App. for $399. OUCH.
