Factory 340 4 speed, manual steer car. Problem is the steering hits on the pass side real bad. Can't even turn the wheel! Looks like the engine would have to come back at least one inch & maybe up to clear. Any ideas? His son died before this was sorted out & Dad is not sure of what is what. I do know headers are 340A-C-4. Thanks, Doug cny25421@centurytel.net 70 Duster Turbo Charged 79 Lil Red Express Bonded Locksmith

Not 100% but if it was a 6cyl car it might not have the correct center link that drops down?????

Headers ended up fitting without needing dents. Make sure you read the TTI install instructions. They have specs on where the engine should be located. You can download them from the TTI web site. I run the Schumacher Torque Strap which keeps the engine from moving around so the headers never hit anything.

I think this adds to the problem. Don't know if the Indy's moved the ports down? At this point it looks like shimming the engine up would not be enough, it needs to go back an inch & that going to throw everything else off. Bad thing is its been sitting for 3 years since his son died. He is just now getting to where he wants to see it done. I will take some pics the next time I am out to his place.

Thanks, Doug The main problem is the head if i remember right the exhaust port is raised on the indy's These tti's should fit accord to TTI they lissted a a race heaer with a w-5 pattern on the exhaust The TTi number you gave for you headers doesn't list the headers fitting TTI's but it is for a stock port location.
