SmallBlock engine swap on a Mopar A-body with headers.... Never Again!

No joke, best fitting el’cheapo header I have had to date is the Summit header. My Hookers. We’re 1 minor dent. Hedmans needed many dings.
Black Jacks needed a pair of string men from the circus with the mallets.

Yeah, i spent a many hours with a torch rebending tubes, clearancing the steering shaft and box. Mini starter that barely fit. Scratched fresh paint in the engine bay... man was I ever livid.
TTI's, Hookers and Headmans go in like hot knife through butter. I've installed dozens of headers in my lifetime. Worst ever. Maybe they were boxed wrong or something happened during manufacturing.
