ChrgrCuda OP super stock Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 941 Texas, USA	you know what. Just installed my first BB in my 69 Charger. 440/505 w/Indy EZ heads and TTI headers. What a pain. My small block car, 68 Cuda w/TTI headers is a piece of cake. It's soooo easy compared to this darn thing. This BB better be worth it. Hell I can't even hardly type as I busted my middle finger. 68 Cuda Notchback [Email]10.86@120[/Email] 69 Charger R/T 440/505 2009 Challenger SRT8

Lot of bench racing taking place with envious Ford and Chevy neighbors, as to which one will be faster. I'm just sitting back and listening to them as they are certified experts and giving me plenty of "advice". 68 Cuda Notchback [Email]10.86@120[/Email] 69 Charger R/T 440/505 2009 Challenger SRT8

Now install the RB with TTI's, 727, CSR trans shield & new starter (worked good on the bench),put it all together after major floor modification only to have new starter click & smoke! I know it's going to be worth it. Steve

I know it's going to be worth it. Steve Please,,,don't mention any starter problems on here. I have almost completed my required professional therapy sessions and have almost forgotten the trauma I went through following, not one, but three starter problems in the early life of my RB/TTI/727/A-body ride...

The lift helps along with the tranny jack, but looking at those headers it looks like another battle awaits. I just bought a '95 Dodge Dakota starter per most peoples recommendations. I hope it works! 68 Cuda Notchback [Email]10.86@120[/Email] 69 Charger R/T 440/505 2009 Challenger SRT8

Did you install it from it the top or the bottom? Bottom installation is an easy, one man operation.

I've installed them with and without the torsion bars. I keep the end of the bars greased up and can pull them out in about 15min. also check the clearance between the starter stud and the block, sometimes they touch
