header compatability question

hunting4bear · 11-09-2004, 08:52 PM

have chance to pick up a set of ford motor sports long tube headers off a 66 fastback with a 289 3 spd standard tranny. will these bolt up to the 79 302 i am dropping into the 66 coupe i have.
I have no idea of head differences from 66 to 79 model year for changes in port size or locations to know if i would end up with troubles any one with any ideas on this ??

I think they should bolt right up.
