440 headers and Power steer

[andy007007]

Has anyone had any success with headers on a RB. I have a 75 duster with Schumacher spool mounts and a Borgeson PS box
I have heard that TTIs will fit with a bit of flattening
thanks in advance

I swiched to electric assist power steering from a saturn vue to make clearance for headers

Correct. 1 3/4" will. However the tubes get extremely close to the ports on the Box. But it's going to be a tight fit no matter which design you go with.....

Since Schumacher has a new owner that would be my first choice. And yes, I have went down this road you are inquiring about and not just someone who read about it on the internet....

thanks for that I was hoping to try and find some 1 7/8 that I could massage in as I will be pushing 600+hp through them - I have been going backwards and forwards trying to design some headers - and keep getting frustrated at them - I thought If i could just mod something to make work it might allow me to get over this hump so I can make some progress in other areas

Parts pro headers will work. 2” dia. You do have to cut the fenderwells with them. Click on my avatar picture. I have a 383 with spool mounts and power steering.

when i made fenderwell headers for the 440 in my 65 dart i went 'through' higher up near the hood hinges so the pipes ran down near the 'a' post/outer fender area not near the chassis so plenty of tyre clearance.
neil.

Pro Parts fit great. didnt have to dent any tubes!

Tire clearance is not a problem. Driver side front two tubes go through the fender, passenger side has one that goes through. I have 215/70 14” and they fit fine. I did have to move some brake lines and I made a heat shield for the master cylinder.

I'm interested in doing that at some point on the Barracuda.
Do you have any instructions for the procedure?

I appreciate it. When I get into it, I'll definitely be asking some questions.
