    Headers for gt40p's?

    So I am a noob here building a little cruiser fox for me and my father. I just picked up some gt40p's for a cheap upgrade. I am redoing those and just stumbled upon a thread on another forum saying that typical 302 headers have clearence issues with the spark plugs and the angle they sit at. I found some ford racing ones specific for the gt40p's but seem a little spendy where I saw them.

    Anybody know of others that "fit with decent clearence"?

                Cory, the warm live hookers are much more fun, the cold dead ones just lay there.
                Don't ask, it's a midlife crises thing.

                    Yeah, but their rates are better.

                        When I did the GT40P swap, I ponied up for the Ford ones (without ceramic coating.) Supposed to be stainless like the factory headers were. Dunno, but they haven't rusted up. Got them from Summit. Price wasn't that much more than other 'beat to fit' headers for the application, fit great, no leaks, no burnt wires. Clearance is still snug but workable. After all these years, I have finally figured out an application where the wrench flats on a spark plug socket actually come in handy (for one plug anyway..don't remember which one.)
