headers

Not a gosh darned thing.



Mine too, no bending or beating them to fit. Though I did spend some bucks for quality gaskets.

Also secure the collector gaskets to the flanges with o-rings over the bolts. Yes the o-rings burn off, but you don't have to fight with the gasket constantly falling when you're hooking up the pipes.

that's a great idea now all i have to do is remember when I install headers on my 70 F250

I installed tti headers on my 66 Polara. Only issues I ran into were:

idler arm hits a pass side tube,
had to use shims for the engine mount so pass side would clear said idler arm.
I can't have a grease zert in the arm or it's worse.

I know my car was in some incident, my stub frame is beat up so I'm not sure how straight it is, in any direction. I used an aftermarket idler, so a factory piece, or Mopar piece might not interfere. And finally, my motor mounts are probably stretched out with the way I drive, hard acceleration whenever possible. They are close to 10 years old.

I still love them, I had normal stock manifolds and would have gone with other exhaust if they had 3" available, but it wasn't and I had money to burn and I'd do it again anytime. Cheap they are not. And when I checked the bolts after driving 50 miles tti recommends, they were perfect, didn't back out. Save your pennies and buy a set!

Interested in selling the Schumachers?

I think I'll keep the Schumacher headers for now as I would like to find a 65 Sport Fury fast top to go with my convertible.
