The time has come for me to buy some headers for a 80 Mirada Stock Eliminator car I'm working on.Car has a 360 with a auto. Anybody have any suggestions about what is availible,what fits and what makes good power.

Any help would be great.I'm trying to get this thing rolling by the Dutch Classic here in the next month.

Thanks Guys

A-Body headers generaly fit F,M,J bodies. I have a 2" set of A-body Headmans on my Volare. A slight dimple for the pitman arm.

I hope you make the Dutch. I am looking forward to seeing the car again. The tubes that were on it were 1 3/4 Hooker race headers for an A body. Holgar

White car with a red interior. My old car ended up near you so I assumed it had to be it. How many of those are around. Maybe I am wrong.

That was me. I built the car. The guy I sold it to took a ton of the good stuff off. I guess the headers were one more thing. That was a good car. Went a lot of rounds with it. Did you buy it off those guys? I was going to bring what records I have to the Grove. Be glad to help out with any tuning. Lord knows I put enough testing laps on that car. PM me or email me at hek@supercarrestorations.com if I can be of help.

Forget about that Mirada and get busy on that F.A.S.T. Hemi. You've been promising me a Hemi 4 speed Bee for 4 years now. Looks like it's up to me and James to do the rowin'.

We were looking into buying some TTI step headers and nobody seems to know what fits a J body.

Seems to be some conflicting answers on here too.

Help me out guys

anything that will fit an A or B body should fit.

F/M/J are all the same under the skin. IIRC Marko used B or E body TTI's in the Stealth Bomber for MM.

So the B body TTI is probably a little more user friendly compared to the A body. As far as plug access and such wouldn't you think?

I run TTI's on my Aspen 360 and nice fit with no more burnt wires,easy starter removal/install,and no more tearing the steering linkage apart.Mine are 1 5/8 - 1 3/4 step ups.I also run a Milodon pan with out issues as well.
