hedman "tight tube" hedders?
Give me a little time there Jerry...I just got off a 12 about an hour ago. It's really nothing special...just a stock 5.2 Magnum pulled out of a '98 Dakota. They replaced stock manifolds, and after I got the timing played with a little, it pulled harder in the midrange-felt smoother. I gotta work tomorrow too, so it may be a few days.
I have had a couple little issues, but they were generated by shitty gaskets, and amongst those occasions, I've shaved off about an hours worth of time to swap both flange and collector gaskets. :)
You don't have to use the mini starter if you're running your pipes under the steering. If you run them like mine are, you won't have enough room for 2.5" pipes with a stock starter...there's about 3/8" room on either side of my pipe nestled between the torsion bar and starter. When I talked to the guy who did mine, he said with a stock starter, he might've been able to squeeze a 2" pipe, but it would wind up getting squished and I probably wouldn't be able to replace the starter if I needed to without pulling the head pipe down. And since mine is joined by an X pipe...yeah, it would suck a little.
