Most people have great luck with L&L's headers...unless you have GT40p heads. I believe they have different headers depending on whether you are running 2x4 or 4x4, but I may be thinking engine mounts. I know they sell a 4x4 oil pan for 302 swaps.

my Kaufman long tubes barely touched my mounts... both sides... so i took a grinder and cut the 90* corner off ... made it like a 45* or so ... had plenty of clearance then and they fit PERFECT ....if ya need pix... let me know... i got some somewhere....lol

Tri Y headers for 65/66 Mustangs fit perfect if not using AOD-bellhousing gets into way.
