you sure those headers will work? It doesn't look like those bolt holes will line up, or the exit will go down far enough to reach the exhaust. they look like small block headers.

They should fit there off of a 302 mustang and a 302 what the truck has. I don't think they will line up with the current exhaust though but I'm gonna re-do it all soon :D

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

Those headers might hit the steering box. Just letting you know they might not fit.

Besides that, looks good. I especially like the sucide knob.

Really!?! I found that one on the wheel of a 50's Ford car. The car would be a mean car orignal V8 and a manual trans.Man if I had the money and a place to keep it I would buy it.
