Have you looked into big block A body headers?

I have not found anybody that has gotten a set of headers that will fit this type of car. The steering box is right against the firewall. The driver's side manifold is a center exit, like a truck. I think I can get B-Body HP manifolds to fit, but if anyone knows if long tube headers will fit, let me know. I've even seen people have problems with shorty headers in this style of chassis, but I'm open to suggestions.


What about hugger headers or is that what you refer to as shorty headers?

That is kind of an oddball chassis.
Don't take that wrong.
I love the 880's.
The predecessor to the C-body.
Kinda heavy aint it?
I would be looking at building torque instead of H.P
Logs would not be a concern of mine.


I have mechanical Aptitude.
I can screw up anything.

If I knew longtubes would fit, I'd get them, but I don't think any for the popular bodies will work. The drag link, pitman, idler, and steering box are forward, and the torsion bars are further outboard on my Charger. The drag link and steering box are further back on the 880, and the torsions are further in. Shorties aren't for me. The HP manifolds have 1-3/4" area, and people are getting 500HP out of them. That's fine with me. Build for torque, but if anyone knows of headers that would fit, let me know.

These are TTI C-Body headers, followed by the 880. They look great, but my torsions would run right through where the tubes are, along with the pitman and idler, I think.

The 880 is the same as the 300 in 64, chassis wise anyway.

Hedman claims these fit the 880. part number 78030

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Could you use Max Wedge exhaust manifolds? Seems like they would work in that chassis, and flow decent, too.

ceramic coating the inside and outside of the manifold seems to be better bang for the buck than say extrude honing, keeps a big source of heat out of the engine compartment.
