Thanks Brian The Hedman 2-1/4" HEMI A-body headers fit great if you set the engine back 2", and convert from T-bars to coil overs. Unfortunately, that means a whole lot of extra work. Ask me how I know. Gone to the dark side with an LS3 powered '57 Chevy 210

Just lower the 1968 Dart body right over the Hemi engine, headers, and K-frame assembly. Then go get some tacos for lunch.

I asked them about this and they said that they will build you a set if you like. ....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

These had 2 1/4" Primaries and 4" collectors. I too had to mount the motor 2" back from the normal position in order to clear the stock steering. I also had to cut back a good portion of the Pass side Shock mount and re-postion the Shock, but I think there is little alternative to doing this unless you never want to take the valve cover off..... Even worse, I had to notch both Frame rails to get the headers in without flattening them to within an inch of their lives!!! They STILL needed a good beating around the Torsion bar area. I don't want to do that again. I also used a motorplate. The "K" Frame had to be spaced down 1" as well - the Lower Control Mounts really loved that too!!! Stupidly, I am thinking of doing this again on a '67 Barracuda, but so NOT want to notch and box the frame rails again. Does anyone know if the TTI headers will fit Stage V heads AND also fit underframe style without any frame rail work and still use OEM steering / Torsion bars? Thanks!

Just called TTI for a set of headers with oem torsion bars and stage v hemi heads with raised exhaust. THEY DO NOT MAKE THEM NOR WILL THEY. Not too sure why since this is becoming very popular. I will be doing custom headers when the time comes shortly.

I have not tried using the multitude of other brands as of later. I know the difference in quality compared to Hooker or Hedman is obvious as far as flange thickness and overall fitment. I'm sure if they have an A Body's Hemi set, you would be happy with them. 1957 Power wagon wm300 original 10.000 mile truck, 1964 dodge Polara Convertible numbers matching

Not surprised by the response, though clearly dissapointing Still, I would rather know that then spend loads of $$$$$'s only to find the ball pein hammer comes out again on some ceramic coated headers!!! Sounds like another Hack job as I would be re-using the Stage V heads on the next project. Maybe I would be better switching to a "B" Body to save the grief; tho "A" Bodies are my first love, it gets to the point where is it just too much of a pain just to win a tin cup......

The reason I ask is I think you would be money ahead buying hooker or headman and modifying them VS cutting up the more expensive TTI Headmans used to be ~$450 thru MP - mine were made in Georgia I know the SS/AH guys pay around $5K for custom headers I have 2 65 B-Bodies and my buddies keep telling me to just put the hemi in one of them - so I hear your pain ! Best of Luck to you PS try Dawson headers - They built a set of Stage V raised port headers for a friend with a 64 Plymouth years ago - nice quality - don't know if they do A Bodies
