It will also have a motor plate. Do not want fenderwell or partial fenderwells. Would TTI headers be my best choice? Looking for the most room to work on the car. 68 cuda formula S 588" bb 5sp 70 CUDA CONVERT 500" 5SP (SUBLIME) 70 CUDA CONVERT 500" 5SP (PLUMCRAZY):TOO MUCH HORSEPOWER, IS ALMOST ENOUGH!

I don't believe there is a "correct" raised exhaust port/RB engine/A body header offered from TTI, although with your aftermarket front end parts the B/E body version might fit. 68 Satellite, 383 with stock 906’s, 3550lbs, 11.18@123 Dealer for Comp Cams/Indy Heads

He and a few if his guys make some badass stainless headers for most of the fast drag cars around. 757-200-4616 5776 Arrowhead Dr # 110 Virginia Beach, VA 23462

Why do you think having a front motor plate would make getting to those spark plugs worse I've used both stock BB A body motor mounts with several different brands of headers and stock A body exhaust manifolds and I've had BB A body race and street cars with front motor plate and getting to the plugs, especially on the passenger side with either is not easy or really hard to me The front motor plate allows you to set up the crankshaft height and center line to your preferences Not so with stock type mounts or adapter mounts I was spoiled on the first three BB A body cars that I had and raced, they all had Hooker fender well headers on them, changing plugs was a breeze Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Yep... I have Hedman B-body headers on my lowdeck A-body with Andy's motor plate, which makes for easier plug access than the OP's combo, and I can only reach #2 and #4 from under the car. #6 is simply impossible without the 1-1/2" access hole I drilled in the inner fender It's been a long time since I ran Hooker fenderwells with an RB A-body but don't remember thinking that plug access was "a breeze" even back then

Header #440-214 2-1/4" 572-13 STEP HEADERS Some of the lower tubes hit the cross bolts for the mains and had to be dinged. The #7 tube had to be dinged for the steering shaft. The old upper shock mount on the passenger side had to be cut out on the corner for the #2 tube that goes over #4 and #6 tubes.

I never had to use anything other than a spark plug socket and or a 5/8 or 13/16 box end wrench to remove them, all the fenderwell header pipes went up and back towards the cut out in the inner fenderwells on both the Hookers and Hedman BB A body headers Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Thanks My engine is out of the car right now as I had my heads milled. Do you want pics of them out of the car or when its together? I do not think I took any with these headers in the car. My previous set was on my old motor which was a low deck 556 with tti 2" to 2 1/8".
