Those are pretty cool pics!

That engine masters show is pretty neat. They compared a small block stroker 383 Chevy to a Mopar 383 BB. tried to make everything as even as possible. Best factory iron heads available, cam, intake....etc. The MOPAR made considerable more power....much to all the hosts surprise.

So just finished watching an episode of Engine Masters on Motortrend. They dyno tested a motor at different states of the headers being dented. Started off mild....and progressively got more extreme. ZERO changes in TQ and HP until they basically smashed em nearly flat....and lost only 8HP...

Thanks! Waiting on my transmission to get back...and it's all going in.

Not bad for 325. Ceramic coated long tube headers that clear power steering.

That sounds like probably the most thorough solution....but fortune favors the bold. I did the most thorough visual inspection I could....and sent them off to be ceramic coated. Told him if anything looks remotely suspect after sandblasting them, to give me a call before coating. All told...

I was figuring I'd have the so the same. I actually send these old things out to get ceramic coated for heat reasons primarily. I think I'll wrap my starter in a blanket as well. Basically doing EVERYTHING I can to Keep them from cooking everything around them.

Guy down the road is a professional welder and a car guy. He chopped the bed of his truck recently, so he's fairly talented. I think I'll bring him down to him and see what he says. They're quite a few welds. All look pretty good to me, though. Good tip on the light. I'll give that a...

Pretty much what I"m leaning towards....I think I could deal with all the BS maintenance wise long tubes entail....but if those welds leak, I'd be super disappointed.

Ugh....I know. Wonder if I could have a professional welder go over them. Surely I'd still be WAY ahead financially as opposed to buying Tri-Y's

Plug access is sufficient. I would definitely put some kinda of insulating boot over it though...other wise I'm certain the wires would be toast. Starter Access: I dunno. Take a look. I don't have a starter/or mini starter, so hard to gauge. I would think I'd be able to get in there by...

They fit. Did the Schumacher motor mount thing this morning.....notched K frame on the driver side. Once I go that sorted, I mounted the drivers head to the block while it's on the hoist and slowly lowered the whole contraption down. It fits. Clearly whoever had these chopped on em to get...

That's interesting. Sounds like they won't fit with PS as they were built (if they're CPPA's). I'm wondering why they were modified though. I have Schumacher motor mounts coming soon. Once I get them, I'll see how it all fits tougher and what the deal is. End of the day, it was only 75$ and...

Beats me. Ol guy said they were.....I compared them to TTI's long tubes online. They're notably different, but the set I got is pretty hacked up....

Anybody ID these? Guy I got them from said they are TTI's came off an A-body with a 440. They've been chopped on and welded a bit. I like the idea of long tube TTI's but i'm NOT willing to give up power steering. For 75 bucks I figured worth a guess that maybe somebody chopped on them to...
