Swap header question December 29, 2006, 01:56:24 PM I'm still deep in plans for a 351W swap even though it maybe a year or two before I get to it. In the area of the exhaust system I just want to know: Is the primary purpose of 351 swap headers just to bolt up nice to a stock Mustang exhaust system? Or are they actually necessary to clear things in the engine bay when the 351 is in? Because if clearance isn't the issue, I haven't really got a use for them because I'm not putting in a Mustang-style exhaust. I've got my eye on these swap headers:http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=BBK%2D1511&N=700+4294908331+4294925044+4294918680+4294871271+115&autoview=skuLong tube swap headers are just way too expensive. What have you guys done? Quote Selected
Swap header question Reply #1 – December 29, 2006, 03:51:04 PM theyre actually needed.The 351 is taller and wider, and those headers are tighter around the block, and theyre a bit longer than a 5.0 header, so they clear everything. Quote Selected
