TTI Headers on a 340 in a 65 Dart

if you have a 904 its hit or miss whether a good ol nippy-mini will fit or not. Just did TTI's on my 66 with a 904, clockable powermaster, and i still had to dimple the header ever so slightly. initially I tried a "large case" mini from a 92 dakota that i picked up 10+ years ago, cylinder 5 primary rested on the motor body. no go. Next was a "small case" from an 01 ram van, same story. Called TTI about it and they claimed it could be due to "jig variations"......well, understandable, BUT when a set of headers costs north of 800 duckets i expect them to fit, and fit correctly. Anyway, with my 408 the last option was a robb-mc.......surprise! wouldnt fit due to the block, and the 904. shouldnt be an issue on a 340. FYI the starter sits approx 7/16 of an inch lower/closer to the crank centerline than a 727 does. I measured 2 spare cases i happen to have laying around. Called RobbMC and shot him an e-mail. he updated his website, because evidently no one has ever tried it before......anyway. FYI!!
All info good to know. Too be honest, I still don't know what I am going to do. Yes, the 340/904 is where I am headed, but I get the feel there is a bunch of shimming and clearance issues. Some say TTIs are a go in the 65 Dart, but others say it is a real tight fit. Have to make a decision soon, but leaning toward standard exhaust with an early 340 driver manifold with the mini and manual steering. Thanks. Old Dart 66
