fenderwell headers

-
I ended up moving the master cylinder and pedal assembly up. Used the original upper master cylinder bolt holes in the firewall as the new lower bolt holes. Moved the assembly up the same amount. Just had to flatten part of the sheet metal lip on the padal bracket, where it bolted to the steering bracket. I now have a couple of inches clearance between the headers and the dual master cylinder. Even the brake lines had enough extra so nothing had to be redone. Very easy job.
 
A few years ago, I found a set of 63-66 A body Jardine Fender-well headers for a 440 at a swap meet. Because it was mostly Chevy stuff at the meet, so I got a smoking deal on them. Jardine does not appear to make Mopar headers anymore...mostly motorcycle pipes, etc.

Although I have 2 360's on stands, a 440 with the fender-wells would really be cool in my 64.

Thanks,

Ive been running fenderwell headers on my 66 Dart for 40 some years no problem. Started out with Cyclones on it for years now running hedman. I can change my started in maybe 30 min.plugs easy to get to, remove both headers in maybe 1 hr. at most. And to me they look killer.

Here are some pictures of the mod. I think a single master would not need any changes due to its smaller size.

I have also been able to fit a 7.10-15 Moroso front tire without any rubbing issues. I did section and stretch the front section of the fenders though.

I'm kinda in the same situation as the original poster here, got a '63 Valiant with a 360 and "stock" K-frame and steering, with torsion bars.
TTI's are just over my budget... Easiest installation (and coolest!) in my opinion would be fenderwells. And I've been searching and searching on and off. Finding any used would be ideal but haven't had any luck yet. And options on summit and jegs looks pretty slim. Hedman and Hooker says they don't have anything that'll work with my application.

Anyone knows where I can find a pair? And could a set of '67 fenderwell headers be made to fit on a 63?
