[WANTED] Header woes

I kinda hate to say this, but unless I've been missing something all these years, you're SOL with a big block early A. C body manifolds or build your own headers is about your only option.
My best suggestion would be to get some early A (pre '67) LA headers, some big block flanges, and try to make them work.
I'm sure someone will enlighten us both if I'm wrong.
 
Mazollini "Pro-Parts" semi fenderwell headers almost fit. Very close just need a few mods. Probably as close as drop ins come. #5 tube needs to be rerouted and the #8 tube needs to be sectioned out about 2 inches under the fenderwell, EZ as its still on the same plane. Just cut and weld. Steering clearance on the passenger side is the tricky part. YOU DEAD SET ON a B?
 
You need to hack out the fenderwells and find fenderwell headers. That's the only good way.

TTI not cheap though I don't know how much less room you have compared to the 67 A body but it doesn't look that much different

You see #5 and #7 tubes going straight down? There is a steering box RIGHT THERE on an early A. #4 and #6 down at the collector is where our idler arms are. Start fabbing! OR you may want to consider HI-Po logs from a Roadrunner, the common ones that go past the #7 port. They actually fit if you trim the steering column tube and shim motor over about 1/4 inch to the passenger side.
 
Thanks some else said they heard that trick but I haven't had a chance to look into it yet. Think I know where a set are
buried under pile of parts maybe I can find them before I give up Thanks
 
Almost like it was made for 'em. These go for big bucks now for some reason. I got these for $60 a set at a show about 20 years ago, Had to grind off the casting numbers on the passenger side for them to fit. TIGHT!

You can mill manifold s at an angle if needed
440 s fits worse local guy 63 dart had his built they hang a little low but work
