    Headers vs. Manifolds

    This will be my plan, as I've seen multiple people on the A-Body Big Block forum say the same thing. I've got manual steering on my duster and the 383 already had a mini starter installed. I use this forum for knowledge and experience from the people that have already been there done that, so I...

    Headers vs. Manifolds

    I’ve read numerous post while searching this site that said B-Body headers would work in a big block A-Body with clearancing.

    Headers vs. Manifolds

    I saw that same episode, which is part of the reason I'm not going to feel bad about "massaging" them.

    Headers vs. Manifolds

    I weighed everyone's advice and thought about the power I'd lose and decided to buy some B-Body headers and do the minimum necessary clearancing. Much as I'd like to buy some TTI's, it's just not going to happen. That being said, any specific brands or P/Ns to buy or avoid?

    Headers vs. Manifolds

    I was thinking about the B-body manifolds, based on the information I’ve seen in this forum. They seem to be the ones that will work with the least amount of modifications.

    Headers vs. Manifolds

    The race car I bought that had this combo in it actually has a set of fender well headers on it. I just don’t know that I want to cut up my fenderwells to make them fit. The HP manifold that I’m looking at buying are $400, which is about the cost of the set of summit or jeg’s generic headers...

    Headers vs. Manifolds

    The HP manifolds look like they would flow fairly well for a stock manifold. The manifolds I'm looking to purchase are priced about the same as a Summit or Jeg's B-Body header.

    Headers vs. Manifolds

    I'm gathering parts for my 383 swap into my '75 Duster and have a question regarding exhaust. I have an opportunity to buy some '70 B-Body HP exhaust manifolds and am wondering how much performance loss and I can expect over a set of headers. TTI headers are not in my budget and I don't like the...

    I Chose the 383 Big Block

    That sucks. Were you planning on taking it apart to inspect before installing?

    I Chose the 383 Big Block

    I'm going this same direction on my '75 Duster (383, 727 & 8 3/4) and will be relying heavily on the Big Block A body tech forum to get me through the swap. Motor currently has elephant ears, as it was in a '70 Duster drag car, but I'm thinking schumacher mounts to help with alternator alignment.

    Is this a good deal for the MP purple shaft 284 528 solid lifter cam and lifters new in box.

    Looks used to me, as well. Unless the lifters are matched to the lobe they came from on a cam that's been run, you'll need new lifters. I wouldn't trust that someone matched the lifters when they were removed. I'd pass on a used cam, unless I personally removed it, matched lifters and...
