If you can find photos of them installed on an RB, you can likely see if they'd clear everything on a B engine. I'd look (left side) at front motor mount, dipstick, steering column, starter, clutch linkage, and torsion bars. Rt side, I'd look at the fndr apron & torsion bar, but usually the right side is the easier side.
I did the opposite with some Hedmans on an RB in an early B, and had no issues except the collectors were higher than the T-bar crossmember. Solved that with some S-bends for the exhaust.

I. called and asked a tech guy about fitment. He told me they would but hang lower than they recommend. And don't want the bad rap about why there scrapping the ground. I haven't tried it yet because I'm taking their statement with a grain of salt

The other option in the same price range is Hooker SuperComps. They are notorious for poor fitment, but they are tuned length, whereas the D452ās are not. Something to consider. My Hooker Comps fit real nice on my low deck 67 B-Body combo. I would recommend them for fitment. But they are a 1-7/8ā / 3ā setup. Iām about to tug on the 700hp lever with them.

For WIW I've had the 452's on my 70 Satellite with a 383 with zero issues for about 12 years and 24K miles...
My car sets a little higher than most but they do not seem to hang down to far to me...
To my knowledge I've never hit anything with them...
...FAFO...
