65 dodge header question - 08/31/09 12:34 AM

Will hooker#5209 fit in a 65 dodge coronet with 440 all in stock location? a little "clearancing" isn't a big deal but hate to really hammer on them since there already coated

Stock heads they fit fine, raised port heads they rub the steering shaft and lay against the starter causing problems. You must add 1" to the tube under the header and dimple #1 to clear steeing shaft.

yes they are 452 heads, I thought there was an issue on the passenger side maybe?

as i recall hookers needed major rework on one passenger side tube if you are using stock type motor mounts. i bought headers from dougs. fit is excellent. no problems.

I run motor plates pass side is tight but fits, stock mounts may create a problem.
