I am looking for someone who has installed a Gen 2 Hemi in an A body using TTI 2 1/8 headers. I know they have specific instructions regarding the location of the engine, but before I weld my mounts (factory style) in to stay. I would like to know what clearance others have to the torsion bars, and steering shaft. Thanks very much

I put one in a 1970 Duster years ago with Hooker headers using elephant ears for the front mount and the stock tranny mount We hung the motor on a chain and positon it so every thing cleared and then welded the locating tabs on the front sub frames
The headers where really easy to put on as they where four different pipes and every pipe slid ride in
I don't remember the primary tube size (maybe 2 1/8 or 2 1/4)or how close the headers where to the torsion bars either, sorry

Very little. Everything is tight. The 1 and 3 tubes wrap around the steering box. The engine better be in the right place. The headers are close to everything. I thought my 65 was bad until I worked on a 68.

Thanks guys I appreciate the comments.

Troy's 68 Dart A-body was used to prototype and make the jigs for their first Hemi A-body headers.

Put the center of the motor where Troy put it. He installed his headers with motor in about a half an hour.

Thanks for the links Autox, I have looked at those pictures many times. I was hoping to have someone give me actual clearances in their build ,assuming that their engine is installed as per instructed, prior to calling mine good. The headers are a work of art, and I am so thankful for them .

Pm Troy.

Good thing you are fabbing you own mounts to make sure block is where it should be.

When you are positioning parts to weld make sure the weight of the engine is on the mounts otherwise it will wind up lower than you want.

Good luck....We have one, hope you like crushed fingers and knuckles.

Hope we don't do another...
