well my battery has been in the trunk for years now, thats not a problem.i also have the heddman headers on so ground clearance is no problem either.those would look awesome jet hot coated.please tell me if i'm correct, just some cutting of the inner fender wells and on they should go.thanks for posting them perce111
. on to the wheel well, would they run closer to the frame then they would to the tires?

I don't have any personel experience with this particular header but the Pinto V8 swap headers that I worked with in the past went in with minor difficulty.
There should not be any xmember problem as its in the same place as the II.
Good Luck

I was eyeballing these too. Was curious if they'd work in the IIs aswell. IIRC these headers have 1 5/8" primaries? To go with the 347 I'm putting together, I want to top it with Roush 200s and the 1.5" ones I have now will just not fit the bill. Short of having a custom set fabbed up I was pondering the Pinto swap headers.
I thought someone on here was running a set of these on their car?

So what would be the difference? (between the 351W and the 289/302 swap headers?) Primary tube sizes? Really, the 3/4" on either side shouldn't really make a difference. Or does it? RRRRRRRR.... I just need to buy the crap and figure it out I guess... 
Gael, can you offer some insight and possible a few pics on the headers you're running, if they are pinto swap headers??

I am ruinning pinto/Mustang II swap headers but they are no longer made. They require a block plate, and removal of the motor mounts.
The 351 is taller than the 289/302.Dano78 said:So what would be the difference? (between the 351W and the 289/302 swap headers?) Primary tube sizes? Really, the 3/4" on either side shouldn't really make a difference. Or does it? RRRRRRRR.... I just need to buy the crap and figure it out I guess...

Well yeah i knew the 351W is slightly taller and what, only 1.5" wider at the deck (3/4" to each side to be exact) But that is so minute, wouldn't one thenk that there is enough 'play' in the header's fitment that you could use a 351W set on a 302 or vice-versa?

Yeah I've seen those, I really would rather not be forced into a block plate though. I didn't know they were out of production though.
I could just see that type of header arrangement getting thrashed, all but to easily too.

Yup, running these on the street without front end spring mods will result in mashed headers. If I was to do it all over again I wouldnt go this route.
we ought to drive to his place in nc and kick his arsssss

Actually they took that into account, if you look closely you can see a line across the 4 pipes. Thats a section where the pipes are bolted together with a tab. So you drop the collector and pull the pipes off and wala! starter access.
