This would be a one-off, I'm afraid, since the mid-engined Pantera is unique in its exhaust layout among Ford-powered autos, and to my knowlege, only the very limited- production Pantera 200 got the 302, so there's a REAL small market here for such a system. However, a set for the 351-W in a Pantera may be sectioned down to fit a 302 by a good welder and a box of hacksaw blades. The 302 is quite a bit narrower than the 5.7-liter 351-W. I suggest the Windsor because the exhaust ports will be very similar in size & spacing to the 302 ports. Not so the 351-C exhausts. Whatever, it may be cheaper to simply get photos of one in a Pantera, and have a set fabricated. There's quite a lot of engineering in these sets to clear everything & allow the rocker covers to come off for valve adjustments, and assembling one in a Pantera is not simple, even when they're correctly made!
I think Hall Pantera has, or had, 180s for the 351-W. And the new Ford GT-40 doesn't run bundle-of-snakes headers; they have dual headers with cat-converters clearly visible on them. Maybe the kit-car makers that supply old-style GT-40s have them built somewhere. Not my line of expertise.
I would try ERA as alot of there gt40 kits have the 180 degree headers and they are known for the quality of there kits.I have seen a couple of the kits with 351w motors in them.Im not sure if they have the 180's for a 302 but worse case just get a set before they are coated, cut and reweld them so they fit the narrower 302.302's and 351w's have the same exh. ports on the stock heads but are different on aftermarket heads from DART,TFS etc.Gt40 headers should fit but i would get the exact specs(Such as how long and high they are) first.Good luck!
