I have a 1962 ford fairlane that I rebuilt a 302 motor. The problem I have is I want to put headers on and can''t find any and do not know what application would work. I can find headers for an earlier year but I do not know if I have to stay with the same year. Someone please help me.

''62 Fairlanes didn''t have 302''s. So I assume it''s not stock unless you mistook a 260/289 for a 302. Try 260/289 headers for ''62. They would fit up identical to the block. I would suggest ceramic coating on the headers if they don''t come with it to reduce valve warpage provided you find a set. Lots of aftermarket companies manufacture them - I imagine you could try an online search engine and type ''headers'' as a search to locate some online.
