TTI small block shorty headers

TTI small block shorty headers - 09/04/13 01:33 AM

Anybody install these yet on an 67-76 a-body with a small block? My uncle is putting a set on his 69 valiant and the right side fits like a glove. The left side collector flange is almost touching the top of the frame rail and proportioning valve. He is calling them in the morning to see if they sent the wrong header,its that bad.

First thing TTi is going to ask is if you've got good motor mounts.

The engine is in the right place according to TTi's measurements.

Does the car have an original small block V-8 K-member? Or conversion mounts?

If original K-member, which type: 67-72 biscuit motor mounts or 73-76 spool motor mounts?

Spool k-member out of a 73 dart sport.The engine would have to move a couple inches up and to the passenger side to help this problem.The rear tube is close enough to the steering column that I think it will melt the plastic insert where the steering shaft exits the column.Looks like the coulmn shift linkage will need modified as well even though tti's website states these work with column shift.
