You have to be INSANE to have long-tube headers on a big-block A-body Mopar!

Have you considered dropping the K-frame instead of taking the front suspension apart a piece at a time? I put my (B-body) headers IN on my low-deck Dart before raising the K-frame up. Amazing how much room there is with the steering box, torsion bars and the whole rest of the front end removed.

that is an interesting idea i never considered. however, i don't have a lift to put the car on and i would have to drop the K member with jacks. do you think that could be done? also, this is a 4 speed car. other than dropping the rear transmission cross-member, can the K-member drop while still having the drive train attached? i do want to put a Borgeson mini power steering box in this car and dropping the K frame would also make that much easier. your thoughts?
