67 Mustang w/ 302 & AOD. Which LT Headers?

[jrnstang]

Guys,

I have been researching the site for a list of LT headers to bolt up. I had some Hooker Comps with the C4 but since the AOD install, they no longer fit (passenger side) and have decided to go with something else or shoud I just modify the hooker comps? I have read about the Hedman #88300 but they also hit the steering box and will install lower at the collector (351 sits higher), I tried to bolt up some Ford Motorsport shorty headers but they also hit the bleeping steering box. Has anyone found a L.T. header that works without applying a hammer to them or should I save the money and modify the Hooker Comps. My setup is a 67 mustang with a Roller 302, No PS, & 91 AOD tranny. Also I have kind of a budget of $400.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give, I am looking to get this done this weekend. Any pics would be great, just PM me and will send you my email.

Thanks Guys,

they can make something that fits your specific application. I went through a pair of coated hookers and hedmans and nothing really fit but the FPAs I got fit just fine. 3rd time is the charm.

I have a 67 coupe with an aod and no ps and I had an old set of flowtech headers that bolted right up. I did build my own mount so that might be a prob. I also use a ministarter.

My Hedmans fit a C4, but the driver side did not clear the AOD linkage and pan. I cut the collector off, pointed it slightly down and out, then rewelded it.

If you have the money, go with Jerry's recomendation. The FPAs seem like a simple drop-in.
If you dont mind fabing something yourself, start with ceramic coated Hedmans for $290

And stay tuned for my rack & pinion install bext week, though I dont expect any issues with the steering cleancing the headers.
