Looks like the TTI:s wouldn't work with power steering? The Doug's seem to fit with power steering too...anyone have any experience with that? The TTI website didn't have the early A-body parts listed yet.
Here's a budget solution that hasn't been mentioned, Durango/Dakota manifolds;

I really like this idea, I have a set of these on the shelf that I was ignorant enough to take off of my 98 Durango. I put the Ede Stainless Headers on it, waste of time and money.

from what i hear you need a special $200 starter to run the tti's.
I have been putting Parts Store '90 Dakota Starters on everything for several years. They are around $100 and seem to fit very nicely.

Even the MP mini-starter doesn't work with the TTI's, you need the powermaster mini starter for $240 to make them fit.

Yeah, but will the TTI:s work with power steering? Judging by the photo, no. Does anyone know? The TTI website is of no help.

This site says yes on the PS, but I would always do research and talk to the folks who produce the product. From what I hear, calling and talking to TTI is usually really helpful.

Are Spitfires really THAT much cheaper. Lets do some math.
Spitfires are $225 (uncoated)
I found Dougs for $550 (uncoated)
So yes they are $275 different. However, the thing to think about is how much extra it is going to cost to have an exhuast shop create exhuast for the non-full legnth headers (they have to snake exhuast up through the engine bay) compared to the simplistic ease of doing exhuat for full-legnth headers. Although I don't have exact info, my guess that it would be at least 100-150 difference.
So Doug's could potentially only be $125-175 difference. Just food for thought.
thats $325 to start right off the bat... i'm not sure what the exhaust cost around your way but the guy i take my car to sure as heck isn't charging $150 to do that little bit of extra pipe... lucky if he charged $75...
It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt. www.MoparMisfits.com

2 things....
spitfires fit in an oven... you can hi-temp powder coat them at home -
i was charged way under 100 bux to have my exhaust fit to my spitfires, and have cutouts added...... ( went from manifolds, remember)
I would sure like to see more pictures of your set up. Sounds and looks like you got a great deal.

I just ordered the spitfires, Harold sounds like a nice guy.
I just received them today, they look great. Harold made numerous contacts with me to follow up and let me know when they were shipping. Very fast and happy with the service. For $225 they look like a bargain to me right now, thanks for the info everyone.

That looks great. Does it run nice and hard? that was a great Street Racer combo back in the 70's.
Sheldon
Thanks! It runs and drives very nice. The 3;23 posi unit that I paid $425 for at the Larry Roesch swap meet, turned out to be junk. So I ended up throwing a 2:76 one legger in it for now, until I get the 742 rebuilt. The 2:76 kind of takes some of the fun out of the 340 though, but it still runs strong. I will be putting the 3:23 in real soon now.
I had forgotten how nice one of these cars handles when everything is new.

if you are going to the trouble of a rebuilt third member make it a 3.55  The 3.23 in my Formula S is kinda tame too!!! IMHO

I would agree, but I am up to over $800 in the third member without spending another $180 on a 3:55 ring and pinion. I have a new 3:23, NOS Mopar set on the shelf. What would you do?
