What headers will fit a 67 cpe 302?

trndkll67 · 12-04-2004, 05:32 PM

I've got a 67 coupe with a rebuilt 302. The exising headers are long-tube hookers, but seem to have a tick somewhere. I can't seem to find the leak and I'm not sure if a machine shop could correct it (or if its would be worth my time and $$) Assuming that I should buy a net set of chrome headers, what brand should I go with. Those of you who have 67's with a 302 wedged in there, what brand (and model #'s) do you have and have been happy with? Which headers should I definitely NOT buy?

p.s. I have a brand new set of chrome bbk long tube headers that I bought that do not fit. Anyone interested?

Ive run tri y's for years,and they work without clutch linkage interference on my '67.The only thing is that a little grinding has to be done on the bellhousing.

The Tri-Y's are designed for the Mustang, they fit well and are easy to install. I would bite the bullet and get the ceramic coated ones. I bought mine black, coated them with Eastwood's Aluminum Coating and it all burned off quickly, so now I need to get some ceramic coated ones or send them to Jet Hott. Chrome headers will turn pruple and will still rust.
