Has anyone tried installing a big block with Schumacher Tr-Y's mounted in a '68 Dart? Schumacher web site says the headers can be installed after engine is in the vehicle OR mounted to the engine and dropped in as a unit. Just curious.

No help here, but if I get my car high enough in the front, I can get my 2" TTI`s off my 505 68 fastback , w/o pulling the starter or anything else. Except the exhaust ------------
Hey , are those the summit racing valve covers ? I likem ----how tall are they compaired to a mopar performance big block cover ??I was thinking about bolting them up while the engine is still on the run stand and then dropping it in the car. Schumacher made it sound like that is possible. Just hate to dangle an engine over a freshly painted car yanking parts off.

Al's Rapid Transit offers the same valve cover. I don't think that's where I bought mine from. Cause I paid around $104. They're asking $142!!!!!Hey , are those the summit racing valve covers ? I likem ----how tall are they compaired to a mopar performance big block cover ??

Only problem was they were bowed in the middle about 0.030" . I used 80 grit sticky back sand paper on a piece of Silstone counter top and worked them back and forth till they were perfectly flat.
NICE ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Well, I decided on the Schumacher headers. The install was simple as can be. I hated to choke the 470 down but I dought it'll see a lot of track time. Changing the car to more of a cruiser anyway.

Looks nice. The Schumacher headers will work pretty good if you go to the track.

\I thought O'Reilly's was a parts store? Had to order top radiator hose and a radiator cap!!!!!!!
Really? This sucks for a town 105000+ population and have to order a radiator cap.
So much for a Friday night test run.

They stopped making them 41 years ago, there are probably a few hundred being driven regularly on the road. A few thousand on weekends, if that.\
I have had to have oreillies order everything I have bought for my 440/505 from them, they stock nothing, not even pan gaskets.
How many 383,400,440, and hemi engines are there combined ? "billions?" All take the same pan gasket !!
Radiator cap is generic so you should be able to find that anywhere. All domestic cars used the same style cap for many years and Chrysler still uses a cap that fits. I think I have a cap from a new Dodge Ram on my Duster.I thought O'Reilly's was a parts store? Had to order top radiator hose and a radiator cap!!!!!!!
