      Default Are these the stock headers?

      Car is an 84, but the engine is a 302 from '78 Fairmont. These look like stock Mustang headers but I haven't seen enough to be certain myself...

      They look kind of stock at the flange but the tube position looks like it might be different. Also, pre-86 headers would have heat riser tubes welded on.

      86-93 5.0L HO all looked like those; Fairmont would've had manifolds.

      I know, but the PO had several fox bodies so I was thinking he used a set he had.

      Those look like oldschool Flowtech's or Blackjack's due to the round flange over each tube at the head; most like BBK nowadays are square.
