After a test fit on the 302, it is apparent that the tri-y headers will be directly in the way of the z-bar mount on the engine. I must have the tri-y's made for an automatic tranny... but I don't remember being asked about it... %^@$##@$%@#..... now I have to use some [censored] headers I had as extras... the damn Tri-y's were nickel plated, pretty, and somewhat expensive. SON OF A @#$$%!

Anyone have this problem? I've heard about having to dimple the headers, but I'd have to redesign the entire damn thing.

Really sorry to hear of your troubles ... "I hate it when that happens".

Please allow some of us who are in the middle of making a decision on Tri-Y's or other headers to benefit from your less than ideal experience.

Who manufactured the Tri-Y's that are causing your problems and where did you buy them?

Sounds like you have the wrong (for the application) Z bar. .... Shelby had no problem with the application of manual trans and tri-wyes.

I bought my Tri-Y's from California Mustang (www.cal-mustang.com). They also sent me a front bumper that doesn't fit corectly [email protected]#[email protected]#$. Anyway... I won't do business with them anymore.

I may have the wrong Z-bar... I guess I wasn't aware that there were two different Z-bars in 68. However, my Tri-Y's interfere so much, I can't imagine what Z-bar could possibly help.

For now, I'll be investigating what it will take to have my other set of headers coated so they look at least decent. They fit around the Z-bar with no troubles. They were obviously made with the Z-bar in mind.
