I modified my tr-ys on my 69 Barracuda with a 440+6 to work with a four speed. It was a really easy mod. I don't know whey Schumacher didn't do it.

Here is a picture of Schumacher Tri-ys for comparison.

B-Body Headers In An A-Body Article putting B-body headers in an A-body.

Sometimes you have to loosen up the other bolts so that you can slide the header away from the head and get the bolt started.

I read that shorties wouldn't work in an E-body as well, but they fit pretty nice in mine. I was ready to modify the dump if necessary though.

I put Headman shorties on my 408 in my 71 Barracuda. They fit nice, however, it takes a sharp bend from the collector to work. The Headman's are about twice as much, but are 1 5/8". I think the ones you are looking at are 1.5".

Yes, you are dreaming!

I put headman shorty headers on my magnum. I had to grind down the truck motor mount boss on the driver side. The 408 is in my 71 Barracuda. I think they would work in an A-body as well. Rod

I modified my tri-ys myself and used a full sized starter with ample clearance. It only took a minor modification to the header. Rod

I would think 2.5 inch exhaust would be more than adequate for a 318. Tests I have seen show virtually no difference between an x pipe and an h pipe. The h pipe is a lot cheaper to install. Never had resonators, I like exhaust all the way out back, not as loud inside the car. My two cents.

Forgot to turn on the weld gas????

Here is a pic of the modification I did at home. They fit really nice, not sure why Schumacher doesn't make a universal auto/4-speed header. sorry, first pic is the header before it was modified. Rod

Unless Schumacher has changed their design, they will have to be modified for a four speed. I did it for my 440 and it was pretty easy. Here is my thread. Modified Schumacher Headers for 4-Speed

Here is the route I plan to go with my 408 in my 71 Barracuda. The majority will say to go with TTIs but I like these.... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/hed-78500?seid=srese1&cm_mmc=pla-google-_-shopping-_-srese1-_-hedman-hedders&gclid=CMnewYj4ydMCFQMpaQod0uMIIQ

I have a set of Schumachers that I modified for a four speed. Had the 440 in a 69 Barracuda. They fit great. I really liked them. I ended up putting in the original 383 with cast manifolds, sold the 440. PM me if you are interested in the headers.

I have used black header paint on the last two sets of headers and have had no problems. Both times, I removed all paint by media blasting and then wiped them down with lacquer thinner before painting. I think when people try to paint over the cheap primer that comes with the headers, that is...

I wish everyone would say what they really think....

When I did my x-pipe kit from Summit, I put flanges before the mufflers, that way I can unbolt the entire exhaust under the car and still leave the mufflers and tailpipes hanging. I can easily do a clutch change or whatever without the exhaust being in the way.

That was me. I wasn't aware of any warranty for the headers. Wouldn't have made any difference because I bought them knowing I was going to cut them up. I think the average guy could do this with minimal tools. A cheapo Harbor freight 4 inch grinder with a cut off wheel would work just fine...

I modified my Schumacher's myself. It was very easy and only cost me around 30$. It would have been a lot cheaper if I hadn't had to order in a J tube which cost 14 bucks to buy and 14 bucks to ship. Rod

I dont' know why they just can't make them all like this. It was so easy.

I had CPPA's 2 inch underchassis headers (the predecessor to TTIs) with my 440 before I changed to these Schumachers. I altered the z bar by having a drop in the z bar using a 1inch square tubing and then had the an "L" piece of steel that went through the header tubes. It was very tight, but it...

I got mine from Jegs and was happy with it.

I had the same problem with my repro tips. I called the company and said they hadn't heard of the problem with the new tips having a different mounting position than the stock ones. Sound familiar? Here is what I came up with as I didn't want to drill a new hole in my frame. The plate...

Holy cow, a pair of big block A-body exhaust manifolds just sold on Ebay for 900 bucks. I am sure glad I have the original manifolds tucked away for my 383-s. Rod

My car is an original big block car so I used the stock mounts and k-frame. Rod

Sounds like maybe your engine is not sitting straight . I just put in Schumachers in my 69 with a 440 and had no issues with the idler arm.

I just bought a set of 2.50 inch exhaust tips for my 69 383-s barracuda that still had the original exhuast tips. The new tips had the hanger a full 3.5 inches farther back than my stock ones. I ended up making some plates that I cut a notch out of and welded (with basically big tacks so I could...
