351w in 86 ranger.

[351rangerxxx]

will the headers for a 302 fit in this appclition?

 

[Scrambler82]

Yes... if you are talking about adapter headers or truck shorty units ?

 

[351rangerxxx]

was looking at hedman 500-89500 at jegs?

 

[Scrambler82]

Are these headers for a truck application or for the Mustang ?

The Mustang units usually have a different down turn on the driver's side and may interfere with the frame, steering shaft and maybe the clutch linkage if manual trans.
The way I ended up with the header I am now using on the Scrambler is I ordered a 302 Truck Shorty Header from Summit and tried it on. It turn out that the down turn of the header worked OK to avoid the Clutch Slave and linkage.

If the headers aren't Adapter Headers for a 302 implant then you will need to do some fitting.
Take a look at the L&L Products 302 Adapter Headers and see if the ones you are buying look like them.

yeah these are for the 302 ranger. but there long tube which i'd prefer. i ccan to some mods as long as the steering clears

 

[Scrambler82]

I am asking for too many questions.
To answer the original question, "Yes the headers for a 302W will bolt up to a 351W" but there will be mods required to fit the Ranger.

Luck on the project.
