I have them on my 440 in my 69 b body wagon. The passenger side fits great. The driver's side: The #7 tube is right against the power steering box. The collector will interfere with stock auto trans cooling lines. I was able to bend mine out of the way. I used a mini starter from DB Electrical.
If you have manual steering it will most likely fit better.
Any other questions, just ask.

Over all they fit pretty good. Like that they don't capture the starter. Just have to drive it into town to the muffler shop and have head pipes made to connect to my exhaust. Had a nice set of short tube full headers in there with the 383 but with the 440 they were up into the T-bars abit to much.

Are the Hedman shorties application specific or are they a generic "Tight to the block" hot rod type header? The Schumacher shorties are a true no fuss drop in BUT are much more $$ than Hedmans. (The Schumachers are like steel manifolds- very thick beefy construction)
Keep old mopars alive.

Can't remember who is making them. Picked up a couple at the NATS. They are awesome.

Yes they are the hot rod block huggers. Probably will have to put a kick at the collector. I'm going to go ahead and use them. Want my car on the road. They are alittle closer to the plugs than the full Headmans or Hooker S/C. Thats the big issue with headers on a BB. Burning up exspensive plug wires at the plug boot.

I bought a no-name set of polished stainless off e-bay a couple of years ago. The plug boots are going to be really close. I guess i will find out when i get the body back on. Randy

If you are going with a shortie style header why mess with the center dump style on a stock bodied car? They are designed for a street rod application although I have seen a set on a pick-up truck, 440 engine, that needed just slight notching of the upper frame rail to work. Hedman makes an Elite series header that is routed much better and actually works well on a milder engine combination. The steering coupler that was shown, from what the original manufacturer said, is no longer in production and is currently not available.

To get me out of a jam. Friend has the shorties. No time or money to go searching for headers right now, not for the no budget driverbeater.
