69 A body Headers

[1969dodgedart]

I,m looking for headers to fit my 69 Dart that will have a 440 RB installed ? Hopefully full length . As everyone knows finding headers to fit with the pwr steering box seems to be impossible . I need 2" tubes with 3 1/2" collectors and 3/8" flanges. Seems I may have to buy a kit and fabricate myself if there's a kit out there ? Not sure why someone hasn't made headers for this combination because it seems like there are more than enough A bodies with 440's in them.

Well, I just looked at a 73 Chally I'll be working on next week, with 440, power steering..

It has TTI under chassis headers, and the TTI site, says A bodies, and Challys are the same..

Grant...thats got to be a typo.....they can't be the same....Chally engine bay (same as B-body) is way wider than A-body.

They must be specing A-Body headers for use in B/E body cars.

With powersteering, its fender well or custom headers with stock motormounts.
Little more options if using front motor plate.(raise/forward engine tweaks)

Looking for some replacements myself.
Good luck

Certainly worth a phone call, any wider body would just make them fit better imho..

I've often thought the chally engine bay is close to an a-body.. IDK.

cheers

I'll have it here in a coupla weeks to finish putting it together,, so I'll take some measurements.

Challengers (E-Body) have the same engine bay as B-Body. Torsion bars, etc are in different locations in A body than B/E bodies. Not sure the A headers will fit, but I could be wrong!

It's the same 2 " headers but you can't run p/s with an a body. The 1 7/8 may fit an a body with p/s

Thanks . From what I researched so far those tti's apparently won't clear the pwr steering box but maybe I can modify .

I have the Schumachers in mine with p/s, tight to get in but clear the box fine after you get them in.

630 for the box and another 130 for the coupler PLUS cutting down the steering shaft?

Ouch.

 

[halifaxhops]

that's WHAT I GET.

power steering is not needed where I come from

On monday I'm going to call TTI to see if they have a suggestion . In an age of 3D modeling and cad assisted measuring maybe they can do something from their end.

Hello . I said I would let you know how TTI headers fit with borgenson box. Two center tubes don't clear box. Will have to modify. Also it seems torsion may touch but won't know until I fit body to engine/ k member.
