Under Construction
So before I pull the trigger and buy a set of Dougs 453B headers, I wanted to ask if anyone had any first hand knowledge of them while using the trans dapt slant 6 to v8 conversion mounts. I'm sure there will be some modifications to be made as I've scoured trough old threads looking for answers. Seems the consensus is that no cars are the same and no headers are exactly the same with tolerances. I plan on getting the borgeson universal steering coupler (114921) to help with clearance of the steering knuckle. I think that is the right part for my application.?
My car now:
1972 dodge dart slant 6
power steering
no power drum brakes
904 column shift
stock torsion bars
What its going to be:
1972 dodge dart 318
power steering
conversion to front disks
904 column shift
108 torsion bars
Speedmaster aluminum heads
Are there any big roadblocks that any of you have found with the aluminum heads, or conversion mounts, or shift linkages, or suspension parts that I'll be facing in the future with these headers? If there is a thread that spells it out and I missed it ill be happy to read it. Also, the 453B header is what I'm looking at, how long will it stay black? Will it burn the paint off at the first startup?
Thank you
