    Headers?

    you said engine out of your truck.. is it going back in your truck, or a-body? Most of the time, in a truck ,you don't have near the fitment/clearance issues that you will encounter in an A-body.... A-body, Doug's, TTI, or Schumacher, whatever fits your build... in a truck, I would go heddman or...

    318 exhaust manifolds on a 360

    I had a 360 with J heads in my 69 Barracuda, I could never get the stock 69 318 manifolds to seal... the ports were too much bigger on the j heads than the manifolds... I ran it that way for a few years though choosing a bit of an exhaust leak over crappy headers... then I bought TTIs for it...

    Which headers Fit,Look, and Perform best?

    I ran TTIs on my 69 Barracuda with the 360 in there, fit GREAT, chrome didn't hold up though, looked bad after less than a year (although I only ran it for short jaunts and it sat a LOT.) I'd spend the extra on ceramic coating for them...

    Want to install headers but which one

    I have had 2 or 3 sets of the cheaper headers on my 69 Barracuda, went to TTIs a year or two ago and would never go back! (cheap ones had to be dented to clear, could not get starter out, hit on the ground) 360, PS, auto

    Patriot VS TTI VS Dougs

    I have TTIs in my 69 Barracuda with a 360, and power steering and no fitment issues. I had the stock huge starter but changed it to a mini starter when I just did the tranny (got a mini-starter with a 440 I bought that will be going in sometime in the future) I like the way the TTIs fit, pretty...

    Exhaust end studs in head

    studs go in like bolts. You can use vise grips on the center (where there are no threads) if they are a little tight or you can also put 2 nuts on the outside end and tighten them together so they don't turn on the stud and then use them to tighten the stud in a bit...

    Ideas how to convert this flange to a single 3" Pipe

    is that ehaust? if so, take a piece of 3" pipe, and squish the one end into an oval. You may need to cut some slits in it to open it up to get it to fit on your flange. Once it is on there, you can weld the slits back up. If the pipe is too big, cut your slits so they are wider at the opening...

    Small block TTI headers

    I have a set of the step headers on my 69 Barracuda with power steering and had no fitment or clearance issues. I was able to use the stock HUGE mopar starter and get it in with no issues and with out taking anything loose. Looking at it, I am assuming the 1 7/8 would fit fine as well.

    "H" or "X" Pipe advice Please

    I paid to have an H put in my cuda when I had the exhaust done years ago... when I put the TTIs on and cut it out a couple months ago, the H was nice and clean, not rusted at all... hmmm.... I cut it apart and noticed it was indeed there but there were no holes at all for the exhaust to enter...

    Ceramic Headers 67-69 Barracuda 340

    I just finished installing TTIs on my 69 Barracuda with 360/904/Power steering/stock huge starter and they fit real nice. Install was not as easy as my 59 Suburban with a 350 bot, I did not expect it to be. Fit is tight but everything clears, you can drop the starter without taking headers or...

    TTIs installed tonight!!

    yep, I have had 2 or 3 sets of cheap headers on this car... went back to manifolds but when I swapped from 318 to 360, the exhaust ports are a lot bigger on the 360 heads and the 318 manifolds leaked like crazy. I bought these from someone on this site (still unused) and got a sweet deal on them.

    TTIs installed tonight!!

    I was thinking maybe I'd put that side against the wall and nobody would notice!

    TTIs installed tonight!!

    they do... the directions do not say you need to loosen the passenger motor mount nad jack the engine up but I ended up doing that. I also had to take the 90 degree oil filter adapter off to get the header up in there, but I was able to put it right back on after the header was in place.

    TTIs installed tonight!!

    yeah, I was using the bucket to stand on while I was fixing the stove pipe a couple weeks ago... then I forgot about it behind the stove... DOH!

    TTIs installed tonight!!

    I'm happy so far with the fit. I did have to put a shim under the driver side motor mount so it would clear the power steering box. I think it was sitting a tad lower than stock, either because of the rubber mounts (maybe not tall enough) or because of the metal part I made to bolt to the...

    TTIs installed tonight!!

    finally got the TTIs installed tonight, they have been in the loft in the shop for at least a year.... (tranny was bad so I have not been driving it though). My 360 should be very happy, it was running through the stock 318 manifolds into 1 3/4 pipes then up to 2" through the mufflers. The...

    Sealing headers

    percy's are good gaskets but, make sure your header sealing surface is the same shape and lines up with the ports on the head. If there is not enough contact area, you need to fix that first. Once there is sufficient contact are, make sure they are flat. Once that is done, then it is time for...

    Sealing headers

    I have been told to soak the header gaskets overnight in water then put them on... One main issue (at least with Chebbys) is that the majority of the headers have round ports (tubes are round, they leave then round at the flanges) and then they don't match the ports on the heads. How close to...

    Early A Headers ?

    TTI's for yours are 650$ for bare steel, 67+ are 605$ are you seeing one particular brand that is 400 more for the earlier A-bodies?

    WHich Header??

    I'd go with 340 manifolds if I had them, but, my 318 manifold ports don't match the 360 heads too well....

    WHich Header??

    I have had 2 or 3 different sets of the cheaper ones, Heddman, Mopar performance, and maybe another brand, they all hung low and were a pain. I"m running 318 manifolds on my 360 at the moment. I will probably buy TTIs in another month or so... Dougs are cheaper but you can't run a 727 with them

    Doug's headers (D453) install/fit questions

    yeah, that has me a bit worried, don't want to limit my tranny options... I'm assuming you like the TTI's, are you running the big starter or did you go to a mini starter

    Doug's headers (D453) install/fit questions

    I'm getting ready to bite the bullet and install some headers on my 69 Barracuda. (360/904, floor shift, and Power steering). I am looking at Dougs (D453) but looking at the description page on Jegs, it says they will not fit with a 727. (That note is not on the page on Summit's website... ) It...

    summit headers

    I had Hedmans on my 69 and they hung low, I'd say go for the Summit ones... Also, if you do get them, let us know how they fit. Do you have power steering? I"d be real interested to see if you have to dent the header tube a lot to make that fit. (had to on Hedmans as well as the set I bought...

    What would be a good temporary exhaust system?

    I have my wife drive it down there while I'm at work... when she did that with my 69 barracuda, she almost jumped through the roof when it fired... I told her it would be loud but.... she didn't realize how loud.... (LOL) they also happened to be doing construction on the road in front of our...

    Headman Fitment issuse... help??

    Good luck. I have a 69 barracuda and have had 3 different sets of headers on it. Most of the headers will fit with manual steering but not power steering because the power box is larger diameter. I went back to stock 318 manifolds but now that I installed a 360, I may be looking again. TTI...
