Curious if anyone else is running a keisler 5 speed with TTi 2" big block headers. I know I cant be alone.
I have an issue with the keisler set up that they dont mention to you. After installation of the 5 speed my headers are now 2" off the ground. I under stand that the keisler set up changes your driveline angle which lowers the headers.
Anyone have any ideas on fixing this? I need to get the headers and the exhaust back up where they belong.... it looks like crap!!!
Anyone think a good exhaust shop could bend the headers?

I would like to know more about this issue as well. My Keisler and TTIs are being shipped as we speak. They should arrive within the next week, and this makes me very nervous.
I thought the trans was modified so that you did not have to alter the drive line angle. i.e. notching the rear shift mount to clear the torsion bar cross member.
Can you post a pic of your clearance issue so I can better understand what I am about to walk into?

Also you may have interference with the steering hitting the oil pan, and possibly the steering arm hitting the header.
I have plenty of clearance with 2" TTIs. I am running the long fast ratio arms and even those have plenty of room. One thing people may not realize is the 1 7/8" and 2" TTIs are completely different in design.

IIRC many months ago Ryan you asked about the Keisler install in the 68-70 B body charger, and I mentioned that you should split the transmission tunnel starting from the firewall/floor seam back to the shifter location, and open up the floor so that you have a wedged seam approx 2" wide up front (near the firewall) tapering to 0 at the shifter hole, then weld in a filler strip,...is your car still equipped with the automatic floor hump, are you using a factory 4 speed hump?, if your interference is up front on the passenger side "ear" located on the transmission, cut it off, it does nothing but hit the floor, I've said it many times before regardless of the body install, mod the floor to achieve the proper driveline angle, if your afraid of modding the floor, then a Keisler isn't in the "cards" for you.....I have the Keisler prototype 68-70 B body TKO 600/650 5 spd which is much bulkier than the production units, I fabricated my own spacer to achieve the original driveline angle, along with mods to the tunnel, even after the rug was down, you can't tell the difference, nevermind with a console atop the whole thing Mike

It's a 4 speed car and I really didn't want to cut up the tunnel, just in case I want to take it back to stock some day. Guess I'll just have to though.

Alright looks like I'll be doing some surgery on the car to get this thing to fit right...... just wish that Keisler would have told me this.
If anyone has any pics of a modded tunnel I would like to see them.
Thanks guys.
