6.1 hemi 727 - Need advice on headers and starter
Big thanks to Real wing and Cuda SRT8, i brought the starter you guys used - Chrysler part number is 56029274AA, and with grinding the block like Real wing it clears, woohoo!
Now my next problem is the headers, i couldnt go the TTI route, i had talked to Bill at RMS who helped design the TTI headers for the RMS AlterKation and he told me there was no way i would be able to run RHD with those headers!
So back to the drawing board, i know a few guys use the SRT8 Jeep exhaust for A body swaps as they sit in closer to the block, so i figured after market Jeep headers would do the same and give me enough room to run my RHD steering setup.
I totally lucked upon a mint set of 2nd hand Kooks headers for the Jeep SRT8, and they sit real nice and tight against the block, which is great for RHD steering, BUT on the left side the headers are hitting the 727 trans.
I dont want to dent the headers, so im thinking about grinding away a bit of the trans and starter motor where the green marks are, 1/2 inch should be plenty.
Just wondering if this would be a mistake and cause issues, any thoughts??? i will be able to leave the gusset on the starter.
