Default 351w swap headders in to a 289 66 mustang?

What do you think?
could the 351w swap heddman headers #88650 fit in a 66 mustang with a 289 engine?
they will shure fit in the heads, and probably will clear the shock towers, but I don't know if the colectors will clear the transmission, clutch linkage etc..
thanks
Efrain

The only difference will be that they hang lower and closer to the ground. I have never seen in recent years a Long tube header for the early models that properly clears the clutch Z bar though. You may ned up wanting/needing to convert to hydralic or cable operated clutch.
