302 headers question

[monch915]

I just came up on some brand new headers for a 5.0 still in the box for a good price. They are not shorties. I was wondering if these would fit my 96 xl w/ 302. Or do they need to be shorties to fit in a bronco?

yo,

If they are proper year Mustang shorties then you have the best fit!

let me thiunk.. do they have O2 sensor bungs?

If it is the XL with the 5 speed trans... you might have a problem...

I don't really know why, i have a 95XL with the 302 / 5 speed combo, i have noticed that the only headers available for that type of combo, has only shorties listed... It must have something to do with the hydraulic clutch line getting in the way, for the longer headers...

Thanks for the input fellas. @Miesk5, The box says ford pu 302w bronco. And if you mean holes for for the O2 censor, when you say "bungs", no they don't have any. @Xxxyank, my Bronco has a automatic four speed. Here are some pics. maybe with these will be better for ya'll to decide if they will fit or not.

did you try to find an application chart for the serial number you have with those headers?

I found them on summit racings website. And when I looked up my Bronco on the application search, this is what came up on this link.

The only thing I found that would make me question them now is, is there a difference beetween the 1995 model and the 1996 model? Seeing as how my Bronco is a 96 and the application chart only says 80-95. What do ya'll think?

 

[Krafty]

i don't know of any changes between 95 and 96 that would affect the exhaust placement. id say go for it
