Mopar65 I didn't have to pull my torsion bars either, I have talk to a lot of racers that used the Pro Parts and never heard any of them say the needed to pull the torsion bars. Mine are the originals ones that Bill Bagshaw sold as Pro Parts, not the early ones that CPPA sold or the new ones that Bob Mazolini is having TTI make and sells now Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

This is the combo I have. Luckily, I have a good friend with a talent for building headers (HardcoreB). Mine have slip collectors and all of the tubes can be installed in less than a half hour.

I bought the Hedman race headers for my car with the 440-1 heads, they are fenderwells. Which I like a lot better than most chassis headers I race the car and I'm getting old so ease of maintenance is very important, especailly between rounds when needed Last edited by Cab_Burge; 09/10/12 12:09 AM.

So i can not say yes or no on pulling the T-bars. mopar65 I put my TTI's in with the motor. BUT,,to get my starter off, the header has to be removed,,,,in order to remove the header, the torsion bar has to be removed.(along with the steering column, drag link, pitman arm, etc) SO,,going in reverse theory,,I would say YES the torsion bar would have to come out to install them with the engine in the car If you like drag racing, support your local track.

That's with everything out like he said. Steering link, T-bars, Engine up with side to side swing for clearance... The starter has a weired way of going in but it go's...

Plugs are no problem as long as the eng is cold when you change them. They actually fit pretty good. Ron Last edited by 383man; 09/12/12 09:58 AM.

8urvette super stock 8 Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 781 wine country	i have a 68 b'cuda with a 440- and VICTOR HEADS I can only tell you what did not fit my car. I am running a andy f- front motor plate, but i mounted it before i took off my stock motor mounts, so i believe i am in stock location. CPPA's did not fit- i would have had to make my steering column go right through the middle of my #7 exhaust pipe. they laid all over the inner fender, touching the whole way. Proparts- did not fit, hit just about everything and then would not make it under the chassis about 1/8" to high to clear the bottom of the car. headman- fendewell headers do not fit. they sit on the shock tower on the passenger side, and i mean SIT looking to "modify" a 1/4" deep on the #2 cylinder to allow them to work. what worked on my car- the set i am building!!!!

The car has stock suspension/steering. It is tight and the rear tubes on both sides go through the wheelwell. Randy 7373826-left.jpg (39 downloads)
