Fairmont headers

my father has a '78 Fairmont Futura, 332" SBF. Right now it's got a set of Summit 1 5/8" headers, but every time he starts it up, it belches out more and more rust...and the headers aren't going to last much longer. Does anyone know of a set of 1 3/4" FOX body 302 headers that will fit....that don't cost $1000?

It's a race car only, so ground clearance isn't a huge issue. The headers he has on there now seems to be holding it back somewhat.

Fairmont headers

Fairmont is a "fox body" car. All the mustang exhaust components will interchange,except for tailpipes,because of the longer car, they will have to be lengthened.

I have used Mustang specific components on T-birds, Lincoln,and my latest project, Cougar. All are still fox cars,some have different motor mounts, but still addaptable......Kevin
