Has anyone used these retarded Hedman MustangII/Pinto headers?  I have been installing them, hitting steering shaft on drivers side and I don't even WANT to talk about the other side.  Looks like I am going to have to lift the p/s of engine, remove mount, lower engine and then slide them in from teh bottom.  There HAS to be a stock exhaust manifold of something that fits!  New guy has them on the Green pinto but he didn't build it so I am SURE he doesn't know what they came off of.  Any info a help.  I had stock ones on my grey V8 Pinto but I didn't build it!

About to use gas can and lighter and fix my problem!  Or trade the bitch for a Baja Beetle!
I'm guessing that you have the headers that all four tubes go down beside the engine together. They stink! Another member on here was having the same problem with his. If you can find a '71 steering shaft they are made of a thick cable instead of a metal shaft, that will gain you some room.

My headers are made by Hooker, two tubes down by the engine, the other two go under the crossmember and they fit great and I can take them on & off with no problem. Summit sells them. I don't have any problem dragging them because they tuck up nicely in the area beside the a-arm, and my car is lowered 2".
If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?

Mine are drivers side has 1 tube that slips in, and passenger side has 2 tubes that do that. 
a true hot rodder wouldn't be content until he had created a car so violent, so hairy, so totally sick, that the very act of pressing the throttle, could result in instant death

302 roller tore down, off to the machine shop for prep after I get back from vacation.  Decided that if I am keeping her she will not have a stock 302.  Planz are a Z-cam, Parker funnel Web Intake, and all the MSD off the stock 302, plus some other goodies.  I am sure the carb and air cleaner are going to be about halfway even with the middle of the windshield due to the chop.  Should make for nasty look
