I had to grind a couple of "teats' of the bell on the passenger side that did hit one tube, but other than that everything fit fine.

I am planning on installing my hemi in a few days with TTI 2 1/8 headers,69 iron 11' bellhousing and a mopar OEM mini starter and a conversion to power steering(firm feel) at the same time.I will be very unhappy if I have to beat on my very expensive ,new,TTI headers.I do have a new pair of hooker 5210 hemi headers and access to a scattershield if needed if it will go together easier.

The RobbMac starter was just a tiny bit too long and interfered with the #6 tube of the tti headers. This starter is 8" long I believe. I bought a Denso starter from Mancini which is 6 1/2" long and it fit fine. There is still not a lot of room but the headers will bolt up on the driver side. I had to grind off one nipple on the passenger side of the bellhousing to make the header fit there but that was easy. I am using an 11" bellhousing as stated above with 11" McLeod diaphram clutch. Everything works on the garage floor so I think I am good for installation.
