Headers For '65 Dart

Outsider said
Do you still have the early master cylinder?
If so, then Hooker made the only headers you can use.
If not, you may need to have custom headers made if you can't get them out of a catalog.
These headers are big enough, and will get you into the tens, but you have to run the original single reservoir mastser...which I do. I can remove the headers in less than 15 minutes, and change spark plugs blindfolded. You can run the heating system, but the wiring down the drivers inner fender is a trick. Unfortunately these headers are vintage units, and and no longer made. They will require some searching.
Forgot to mention the car was an original D/S, then D/MP car.

I also had a set of these on one of my 65's and they do fit real nice but they have been discontinued for 30+ years so finding a set will be tough. I had a stock master cylinder on that car also.

Please read this post carefully. I need real answers. I have a '65 Dart that I've restored as a race car. I have a 360/408 that puts out 510HP. I purchased Headman Husler 1 7/8 fenderwell headers. It took a fair amount of beating and cutting to get them to fit. With the fenderwells missing, I still need to remove the fenders to get them on or off. Originally the car had Dougs and a 360. The fit was rediculous. I'm looking for REAL suggestions for headers that fit. 1 3/4 will work. The 1 5/8 Hooker comps are a little too restrictive for the piston speed of a stroker. I'm looking to put the Dart in the low 10.70-high 10.60. Thanks

Post some photos of your car,

I have the Headman Hustlers and I had no issues with fit on my car. The only modifications I done to the headers was I relocated the little tabs that hold the header halves together. The only thing with the car that needed work is I had to notch the upper portion of the shock mount above the shock which was easy and minimal.

Getting them on and off is easy as well, I had them on and off a dozen times while I was mocking the car together. The right side just requires the engine to be raised about a 1/2" and the left side does need the master cylinder to be loose or removed. But I have my fender wells cut close to the headers with only about an 1 1/2" clearance or less around them, if your fender wells are cut out larger or removed then you shouldn't have to mess with the master cylinder at all. Another thing is I'm running Edlebrock heads which are bulkier and that makes it a little harder, I had mocked it up with stock heads and it went a lot easier.
