I believe you can re use them. I know MAC makes specific P headers (not sure if they're LTs) but I remember you don't HAVE to use specific headers with the P heads. Someone else should be able to give you a definite answer shortly.

DEFINITELY use mac long tubes

2 cylinders will either need the spark plug reversed or a 90 degree spark plug boot (chevy style)

You can buy a set of taylor 90 degrees and it will look great.

The spark plugs on 2-3 cylinders need a cut socket and a wrench, but its well worth it.do a quick search about the socket. Usually someone has one.

I have ford racings

you can run a standard 90 degree taylor wire like for a SBC

or just pick up 90 degree plug wires from wherever

so i just need to get a set of taylor 90 degrees spark plugs and be able to re use my mac longtubes without a problem,sounds good to me.So i can use my ford racing wires?

The engine is out of the car so will i need to worry about the socket and wrench?

95snoozer i see that you have gt40p heads,im going to be running a tfs 1 cam.Do you think that should make good power with these heads?

thanks
Jesse

i would think 285 with box stock gt40ps tuned

while you have the heads off grab a dremel and do some bowl work and smooth the exhaust bump in your free time.

If you can get you hands on a cma like mine it would be great

comp xe270 hr with 1.7s
