anyone know if 2,-2 18, or 2 1/4" headers from a b or e body will fit a 68 barracuda w/ a magnum force front end under it? or what kind of under chassis header will fit and not capture the starter? don`t want fenderwells at all, for a 505" pumpgas street car.
thanks, bob
 
We gotta set of big block 2" primary truck headers in a Gremlin with a 400 in it. It's gotta straight axle under it gasser style. They fell in with no dents or nothin. Don't know if somethin like that would work for you or not. I'm not familiar with the magnum force stuff.
 
check out bigblockdart's tech section. it seems like once the front suspension is gone just about any in-chassis header would fit. there is still is just so much room in the engine bay and the bigger the diameter pipes might still need the 7 and 8 out the fender.
 
2 3/8"-2 1/2"-2 5/8" with 5" collector

i would really like to run a front tire as tall as poss. (there for no tubes in the fenderwells)----------------------------------thanks, bob

I have the Magnum Force coilovers, (no T-bars), with 2' primary TTI's. It's snuggly around the mini starter, but this is a low deck. The last one I did had a RB engine, and fit much better with the full size factory starter. The 2" primary model has a 3-1/2" collector.

that mooneyham 14-71 supercharger belonged to a friend along with the injector and mag III. with that combo it went a 9.46 if i recall correctly. with this motor it's only been to a 1.24 60'. the one in the pic obove decided it didn't want all the rods inside so it tossed a few out. that was back about, gosh, 5 years ago already, damn time's buzzing by. i went thru the motor this winter and discovered a few problems and fixed them. every time in warms up here and i get ready to go test it the temp drops like a stone. when it gets below 50* it doesn't want to start. i'm jonesin to go for a ride.

the motor now is is a kb stge 10 with the same 440-1 heads. donovan gear drive. .700" roller cam. 10.4-1 compression. aluminum rods and flat top pistons. a littlefield 14-71 retro. square door buzzard injector. the system was set up by spud miller at fuel injection interprizes. the torque convertor is a jw with the mechanical diode. 727 with a bunch of good parts. dana 60 with 4.10's. ladder bars and coil-overs on the 4 corners. 31x10.5w's. rack steering and wilwool disc up front and drums on the back. here's a pic of this motor. opps, wrong button.
