These things look like a nightmare! Hooker ceramic headers on a 67 Coronet with non original 426 Hemi. Can people post some pics of what it should look like from underneath. Thanks for Help.

It depends on which brand and how many pieces they are, what brand and how many pieces? The Hemi headers are way easier to install in a B body than the same car with a wedge motor and same brand headers in it I would follow the instructions and proceed Let us know how you do

I see your in NH, I just fought with my doug's cerimac coated headers in my 70 runner 544 stroker 6 pak, I marked up everwhere they where hitting, sent to tubular headers here in rockland ma, test fit, then sent to central CT coating in CT, FOR $250 they fit great and look better then new.

I can't find my chassis pictures, anyway here you can see how low to the ground they are. They wrap around the steering linkage and T-bars and really near the steering box. Before proceeding do a port alignment check and correct (by welding up mismatches) and resurface them. My recommendation if they are new is to return them. I had these in stock so I used them, I've been using the 5210 Hookers for 35 years but I would never buy a set these days.

Sheldon that Milodon Oil Pan is pretty high in the Chassis. My oil pan is much lower. I run Hookers but have them welded up so they are one piece per side and I do pull the T Bars to get them in. My Challenger looks much higher than yours running a tall skinny tire on the front with the T bars higher and 14x32s on the back.
I like the license plate frame you are running.

No skid plate on my K-frame so the engine looks lower. My dang fuel regulator is hitting the shaker base after I built my fuel lines hence it looking crooked (I just noticed after taking this shot yesterday, I'm fixing it right now actually). The engine is in the correct spot believe it or not Lol. I'd like to drop the front suspension an inch or so but that won't happen until I get a set of TTI's and weld in a skid plate. These Hookers will be lucky to be in there through this season. Yeah I love the plate frames, I had the outline painted FM3 when I was running a Hemi in my FM3 Challenger way back when.

I noticed the bubble was a little off set but figured it was just an adjustment since you have been working constantly on this car for a while. My oil pan is real deep and around 10 quarts, that is one reason I run tall tires and T Bars higher. That and such a light suspension on the front for lift. Trouble I have with the Bubble is that the adapter seal is squished to the hood and bubble sitting very high running a single four barrel on the Hemi. I am going to take take off the Challenger Shaker hood and retire it. Going back to the TA Hood on the Challenger and run the Two Four again with the TA Hemi Base Plate.
Nice job on the car Sheldon, you would make Tim proud to put his build in that Beautiful Challenger.
