Does anyone have a set of swap long tube headers they can measure?
I need the measurement from the most rear bolt hole, straight down to the top primary at the collector.

just curious, what are you trying to accomplish?

A local guy has some 302 long tube headers I want to see if they have enough clearance to use them with ls flanges.

It's going to hit the floor boards. That's why they use 351 with ls1 flanges. I used 351 BBK About 12 years ago.

we believe they are 302 headers. He said he got them in a parts lot and hence the reason I need measurements. Btw, no part number on them to go by.

The 302 headers are too short, as previously said. Plus the primary tubes are too small to let the LS engine breathe. You are better off using 2010 Camaro shortie headers if you are on a budget. I bought a set from Pacesetter for $200.00 They fit my 2000 GT very nice. I wont be much more that 400hp at the crank, so these are fine. They should fit the Fox body also.

I am in the process of fitting my old bbk lt headers in my ls fox. They will fit, i think. I already cut my ford flanges off and dry fit them in place im just waiting on the ls flanges to show up.

Mine are 1 5/8 btw. And they are going to need some modification but they look promising.

I have 2010 Camaro manifolds already, if I knew the pacesetters were 1 3/4 primaries I would have bought them! The build is going into a open track/auto-x car so peak horsepower is not a big concern but like to spend my pennies wisely!
Do you have a thread so I can keep tabs on your progress?
