Here's Doug's in my 66 Barracuda with a 5.9 L Magnum, power steering. Not much room but they fit. Driver's side has two slip joints and two flange joints. Passenger side has two slip joints. You feed from top and bottom and meet in the middle!

Driver's side you remove starter, steering column and torsion bar. Passenger side you remove 90* oil filter adapter.

Cyclone made full fenderwells back in the day. I still got a rusty set. I think TTI is the best right now. Hedman made full fenderwells too, I think they can still make you a set but they are not in catalog anymore. If your not afraid to mod more modern headers, the passenger side is still the same design and rop right in, If you get the kind that have the #3 that goes back over #5, you only have to mod 2 runners: #1 can go straight down and back, and #3 can either be tucked in behind steering box, or routed forward and down with #1. Crude but works. Just have to get around very tight 'narrow A' Steering box. Power steering need not apply.

TTI, but not cheap, and not easy. I was able to sell my old 340 hi-po exhaust manifolds for enough money to pay for the TTI's, but then I still had to buy the rest of the exhaust system (TTI 2.5" mandrel-bent X-pipe), plus a high dollar starter plus re-route brake and fuel lines and battery cables and some wiring. However, it does run a lot better now than it did with 340 exhaust manifolds and 2 1/4 inch muffler shop exhaust pipes.

That's absolutely ridiculous. They doubled what Harold was getting for them. .......but at least they are making them.
The guy that makes them for Layson’s absolutely HATES making them. Same guy makes the Schumacher headers as well as many other brand-x headers.

I bet he does. I would never buy them anyway. I think they are the absolute pissest piss poor design of any header of all time. Just a dumbass design. Why on earth anybody would buy those over Dougs is a mystery to me.

What’s wrong with the design? They fit early a-bodies and used to be cheap. I think the passenger side tubes aren’t paired correctly though.
