TTI headers - anyone got them installed?

Dave, I can't wait to see your photos. I've been watching your documentation of your restoration. Of course, if I get TTi's, I won't be lowering the body over the engine like you, but at least I'll get an idea of how it all looks when it's together.

I think my biggest hurdle will be clutch linkage (my friend may have an alternate to the Keisler setup) and possibly the location of the engine. I made my own motor mounts back in the late 80's when I put the 340 in. That was before Schumacher was around.

Having the hydraulic clutch would make a big difference. If you can make the Willwood setup work on the 66 then I think you would be set. I forget what Richard from Keisler told me about why they had to CNC a hydraulic clutch for the 63-66. The Willwood unit comes with all the other kits. Yep Keisler is not the only game in town these days and lots of people are jump onto the 5-speed wagon. Saw a t56 with custom tranny cross-member mounted to the subframe connectors the other day. Very cool and exciting stuff. Hopefully the costs will come down some but I doubt it. :thumbup:

errr back to the TTI's. They are a ***** to get in from everything I've heard but worth it. I think it is more about having as much info as possible and executing a well thought out plan instead of winging it. If you have an engine hoist or can rent one, it would not be too hard to do the front end body lift IMHO. Maybe I'll post a pic with my parts car hoisted like I plan for the vert to give you an idea.
