S&P Headers for 5.7

Joe Dokes said
I do not know if S&P headers will fit an Alterktion in an early A-body.

What I do know is that the early A bodies are even tighter than 67 and later A bodies. As a result most people who attempt to stuff a Gen III Hemi into a early A-body use the Alterktion. I also know that Bill Reilly specifically worked with TTI develop a set of headers that worked with the alterktion and the new Hemi.

Finally, the S&P headers are only a little cheaper than the TTIs. If money is an issue (and it often is) you can use a set of Jeep SRT 8 manifolds. A small amount of trimming is necessary but you end up with a clean install.

Check out tincups build thread for details about using cherokee exhaust manifolds.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the response, I'm very familiar with Tincup's build. He has a beautiful '63, unbelievable workmanship. I was trying to avoid modifying my drivers side motor mount when using the jeep srt-8 manifolds. I remember seeing a reference made to those TTI headers (early a specific) on Bill's forum, but it seemed that the headers they made were lost by UPS and nothing ever came of them. TTI certainly doesn't advertise them or I'd be all over a long tube option of course. Unless you know something I don't know, there doesn't seem to be an actual advertised, proven option for the early a body third gen conversions.
