Has anyone put in 2" tti headers on a 383 with stock heads and stock stearing. I called TTI to see if it would fit since they fit the 440 with stock heads and the answer I got was maybe. It fits some 383's and other it interferes with the stearing. Just want to see if anyone else hs done it and...

Would these FWD wheels work for a 74 Duster? They would be just for crusing, not racing. Sorry for such a stupid question, but when it comes to FWD vs RWD wheels I am lost. I know a few people who have FWD wheel on RWD cars but I dont know what all goes into propper fit.

In another thread I asked if a 50 gph @70psi Vortech T rex Pump would be sufficent for a Big Block Mopar? I am asking because the person who has a procharger I am looking at has this new in the box, but I dont want to buy it if it is not sufficent on a 383 with approx 10-12lbs of boost. If you...

I pulled the valve cover and the casting on my 915 head is 2780915-2. When I search this it says the valve size is 2.08 intake and 1.74 exhaust. However, I have heard that is not always correct and that the 915's often have small 1.60 exh valves. Is that true or is that a different casting...
