stroked340. send me a PM with your contact info and maybe you would not mind exchanging some ideas. I have yet to start my 416. I am still hooking up the fun stuff. Electrical. MSD box, tach, gauges. I was actually looking for somebody around here that would maybe help me fire this up for...

I would love to see them some time. Are you close by Saugus? Maybe we can hook up sometime? I would love to compare the spaces in and around torsion bars, starter, power steering box and steering column grease cup.

I checked the TTI headers and I was not all that fond of having that #7 tube be in two pieces. Maybe that was an error on my part.

Agreed. I found that out after much agony. Last few cars I did were stock rebuilds. I wanted to dabble in some mods with the Demon. What an education. My steering grease box had to be cut off and had to have a round aftermarket swivel joint enstalled to clear the headers. Cost me 205.00...

Just another thought on the Dougs or anybody's headers for that fact. I have installed Edelbrock aluminum heads on my 340. Want to get real messed up in the head. Nobody ever told me that the Edelbrock heads actually protrude out in front of the block by about an extra inch?? Now where do...

I am in process of installing exhaust in my 340 Demon. Up front I have Dougs Headers and I cam off those with a Dougs 3" X pipe. I bought the 2 1/2" custom over the axle tailpipes from Accurate exhaust to go on my chrome tips out the back. I wanted to do the 3" all the way including the...

Yes, Thank You. That makes sense. As stated earlier. I wanted to install 2 1/2" tail pipe sections over the rear end and install stock chrome tips. I think I should locate them first along with the mufflers and then fill in between to the x pipe for best fitment? Does that make sense?

I was actually looking at the recess in the floor out back. I was thinking of just ordering a pair of stock 2 1/2" tailpipe sections and locating them on the stock hangers that are there and then working backwards to my X pipe through a pair of 3" mufflers?

My motor is a built 416 stroker motor. I suspect once on the dyno it will be looking at about 500HP. And yes, it is just going to be a cool cruising street car. My headers are Dougs and the collector on the headers is 3"? So why would I want to right off the header collector reduce things...

I have my X pipe hooked to my headers. 3" pipes. They seem to fit fine in the two indents in the transmission crossmember. I am now trying to figure out where I need to locate and what size and shape mufflers? Do the mufflers just go up against the floor of the passenger area or further...

Mine fit ok on the 72 Demon 340 car. However, I installed edelbrock aluminum heads and I think they are a little wider and longer than iron stock. Therefore, it was a trick with clearances in and around the power steering box as well as the steering column to steering box coupling. I had to...

What is "N" and "T"?? Am I just dumb??

I already have the dougs heads on my 416 stroker motor. I recently picked up a dougs 3" Xpipe. Before I go ahead with this, I read that the 3" pipes are very hard to run all the way out to the rear? As an option I was thinking 3" Xpipe with mufflers and then changing to 2.5" after the...

I just installed them and they seem close in that area. I would just mark the tube where it is close with a marker. Take the header off the car. While placing an 8" long piece of hardwood on the inside of the tube just take and put a large c-clamp across the tube. The side where the wood is...

Yes, as shown in the pics with the rulers, my engine is offset in the kframe to the 2.5" specs as required. So it is sitting where it belongs. I think the 1/4" shim on the drivers side may be what will get the clearance I need from the steering box.

I was wondering about that as well. I have read other posts in which folks here did a small fabricated 1/4" thick steel shim. Maybe I should try it while it is easy to get at and see what she looks like. I guess I can always slide the shim out if something changes after it is installed in the...

Plus I doubt the hood is going to close with the air cleaner I chose? Needed this size to move the air necessary for good flow. I will probably have to get a 14" drop bottom air cleaner with one of those filter top covers from K & N. I will have to unload this one on ebay or something. I...

Crackedback, yes, I was thinking I have this as close as I can get it sitting on the stand. And I guess the real test will come when it is actually installed and the tranny crossmember is all locked in place. Looking at all the measurements, they all seem to align themselves with all that I...

I am uploading some pictures of the drivers side dougs headers with power steering. I did as shown in the pictures measured the dimensions from the kframe to the crank center and then the offset from the kframe bolt holes to the center which shows a 2.5" offset. Seems the dimensions look fine...

hey thanks crackedback. You are the first sign of hope to install the headers before fire up. Man it seems so much easier to install them and then drop the car over the whole deal.

Joe, that is a great idea. I am just having a hard time understanding how this would happen if I have the engine timing set real close and the carb is brand new. Fans would definitely help to release some of the heat. I think the worse that could happen is they get a little hot and I can...

Don't want to steal the thread, but I am looking at all the fun you are having and could use some advice based on your install of the Dougs. I bought a set of Dougs for my new stroker which is all together on a stand with the tranny and all set up and ready to roll under the chasis. I have a...

Can anybody tell me if I can get studs which are 5/16 coarse to go into my edelbrock aluminum heads and have the 3/8 fine thread to fill the holes in a stock 1970 340 manifolds for the nuts to go on. I have the two long tube nuts and they are 3/8" I don't see any in the ARP catalog unless I am...

Getting ready to purchase a set for the stroker. Parts guy says don't waste my money on a street stroker 470HP and just go with stock 340 iron. I had ceramic coating before and they sucked due to rusting. Warranty worked but the change over and return boxes also was a big pita. Some say the...
