Recently purchased a complete 90 mustang for a doner car. Planning on swapping the 5.0EFI into my 76. Will the mustang shorty headers fit in the eb? Any issues to be known?

Hoping they will work. Planning to chop the mustang exhaust below the O2 sensors & then weld up my bronco exhaust. Just started pulling the motor from the mustang yesterday. :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have the 5.0 sitting in my bronco atm but i tossed my shorties because they were trashed so i cant help too much but here is a pic of mine with hydro clutch bolted to the bellhousing and an nv3550 trans. Looks like there is room in between the ***** cylindar and the firewall for the exhaust goes through. if you had the stock mechanical linkage it wouldn't work.

I am sort of in the same situation. Just got done with full width axle swap and now long tubes are on a collision course with d44 high pinion.  From what I've found out shorties will not work with factory clutch setup, because the clutch pivot is in the way. A guy would either need a custom header to go under the pivot like the long tubes do, or get a hydraulic clutch setup. Now I am not sure when we start talking automatics. I believe I am going with the hydraulic clutch, more convenient for me.
