I just bought a pair of chrome BBK unequal length shorty headers, then came the unexpected 351. Does anyone know the problems i will have running these headers on the 351? i am willing to cut and reweld my exhaust to make it fit, this is on my 82GT with GT40 heads, thanks:SNSign:
yeah i know, but i'm the kinda guy that works with what he has, if it takes an extra 3 hours i'd rather use these headers than sell em and buy the swap ones, thanks though
Well I guess you could make what you have work if you cut you h-pipe and fab a piece to weld into itto the h-pipe to extend it to reach your 302 shortie headers. I can't say for sure if the 302 shorties are the right angle though. The 351w is wider and it maybe a different angle then the 302. maybe not now that I think of it. Personally I would sell your current shorties and buy the swap headers. An even better idea would be to sell your h-pipe and shorties and get a set of 1 3/4 long tubes and a h-pipe so that the 351w can breathe. I have the 1 5/8's and I have been told time and time again I need 1 3/4 headers.
