long tube will not fit without major modding to them and its not worth it from what i have heard.

Long-tubes fit just fine as long as you don't have column shift...the flowtech headers that I ran on my t-bird just needed a slight dent in the cyl #5 primary where it passed over the stock style motor mounts....the Mac 1 3/4" longtubes on my cougar needed no modifications...the passenger side was a pain in the balls, but it went in...if you need to do "major modification" to a pair of long tube headers to make them fit, then you're doing something wrong. Both long and short tube headers have their pro's and con's.

These are designed for our cars and arn't too exspensive.

Yeah I gotta set going on my project. Haven't got the motor in yet but I'll let you know if they fit. I got mine from jegs for 100 bucks.

They're so cheap because they're tightly bend 1 1/2" primaries...good for an SO or maybe a stone stock HO, but not much else. The flowtech's I had on the 'bird were only $149 from advance auto parts and had 1 5/8" primaries...you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to headers.

That’s what I have and could not get them in I heard there the same as flowtech but not sure I still have them in box some scratch’s and minor rust from long term storage never returned them. If Sick88Tbird saying he got the flowtech in maybe they will fit I think some one else here said they got them to fit a while ago too. Good luck
Other good advice buy some of ChuckW motor Mounts they will help.

According to Summit's application chart:

Automatic Transmission Column Shift = No

I know you went to a floor shifter. The linkage is all good? No issues or anything like that?

What's the fascination with long tubes?

The jegs long tubes do not fit at all.. I'm pretty sure John got 5 speed ones, they just didn't list them that way. Go with shorties.

Also you will have to relocate your fuel filter on the passenger side so a ler will clear. Its easy and the tubes don't need to be cut.
