Now that the Hemi is in and the headers on you now know what works and what dont. Would like to know if it would have been easier installing with the heads off? I need to install a 572 Hemi into an A body using TTI 2 1/8 headers. My thought was to install with 727 bolted on, but without the heads. Really not sure of the best way to do this, but any opinions from you would be appreciated. Thanks
Put the engine in, slip trans in from bottom. Starter goes on, then headers, then steering box, once bolted up you can put the pitman arm on and slip the torsion bars in. That’s using the tti a body headers. Depending on how you locate the engine, mine is in the spot the original 383 was at I needed to space the k frame down 1/2” for header clearance to the steering linkage. Thankful I have a lift.
