Schumacher headers 440 in 71 Duster
I did not realize the thread kept going....
I went with Schumachers just to get it done, i will look at TTI later once I have actually had it on the road for a bit. They fit so nice, and spark plug changes are so easy with the Schumachers so who knows.
My car is an original 340 car, but everything was kept by the guy that sold me the roller (he's very different), so keeping it original was never in the cards.
i did the 440 because honestly it's awesome to look at, the torque is unmatched, etc etc.
I am not worried about handling, as I have aluminum heads, aluminum intake, aluminum water pump and water pump housing. I would bet that this 440 weighs very close to a stock all iron 340 that used to sit there. I also went with an aluminum manual steering box which weighs quite a bit less than the power box that was there before. It should feel very close in my humble opinion. I will report back on this when the snow melts and I drive the snot out of it
I am the worst Mopar owner in that I don't care at all about originality for my own car, which bothers alot of purits. I respect all mopars, so to each there own.
I know I am going to get alot of grief over the decals I had made to compliment my factory 340 decals as well....
