B-body: 426 Hemi headers w/ column auto

B-body: 426 Hemi headers w/ column auto - 03/06/24 03:06 PM

Hey gang..

Looking to add TTI headers to my Superbird, 426 Hemi column auto. TTI mentions that there are issues with fitment when a vehicle is column auto, which my Superbird is. I added TTI's to my 69 Charger Daytona with a 426 Hemi, but it is console auto, so no issues......

Cheers,
T

Here is a '70 road runner with a modified pivot bar (z bar?). In this pic it has manifolds, but it has since been switched to 2-1/8" TTI headers. We cut out the middle and welded in a bow to go up and over the exhaust. Unfortunately, the column shift linkage is a modified set from a '73 Satellite, so it may not directly translate to your factory set. (I used Schumacher mounts for the Hemi, if that makes any difference.)

My Bird is a factory Hemi Bird, hence not too keen on having to get the Schumacher mounts........ This might be a daunting exercise... Thanks for the reply.

Here is what the 70 up E body and 71 -74 B body bellcrank looks like , you could get another bellcrank and modify it , cut out where it will hit the header , weld a flat bar to either side of the cut and weld the piece you cut out back in the middle out of the way of the header ?

You won't need Schumacher mounts for this.
