What headers have members used with Speedmaster aluminum heads? How is the fit with the spark plugs etc. ? My application is 69 barracuda, small block 360 , power steering ( Borgeson box) and power brakes. Thank you.
I have Speedmaster heads, Stock PS box (from Feel Stage 3), Doug's headers, Z-Bar, 90's Mini Starter, CVF Brackets for Saginaw box, poly motor mounts on a 69 K Frame and it all fits with minimal issues. The header bolt holes were tight but I didn't need to open them up to fit. Plug access is like Doug's with stock heads, pretty good.
Those would be the ones.Is it d453?
Those would be the ones.
The only issue I had was with the factory power steering coupler hitting the back tube. I replaced the steering column with a Flaming River for a B-Body as I was was converting manual to power at that time.
Thanks for the info. So maybe a smaller than factory coupler would do the trick.

Wait a minute I'm going to have trouble with my alternator!? Do you have a picture of the fix? So I can get prepared...I replaced J heads with mine. Had the pop up 340 pistons fly cut to Zero Deck. Other than head bolts/studs that fit Edelbrock heads all stock stuff bolts up. They have the same Alternator fitment issues Edelbrock heads have.

He ain't drove it yet...As far as performance , how did the motor respond to the head swap?

I get that about being busy and all but now as a result the suspense is killing me too.Totally. I'm so close too. If I had about 2 full days on the car it would move under it's own power again. I'm constantly under a hail storm barrage of family needs and work.
Had 16 days off over Christmas/New Year and not one second spent on the car.
Still waiting for information about alternator fitment here too.Wait a minute I'm going to have trouble with my alternator!? Do you have a picture of the fix? So I can get prepared...
