Hello All,
Guessing it took someone more time to re-engineer them then to just replace them.
But, I do give them a B + for creativity.
Happy Mopar :)

Hedman Hedders fenderwells. I'd use those over hookers every time.
 
If you want something different - that is better fitting into the body- already made, then look at Schumacher big block (if available), TTI, maybe Dougs. If you're OK coming through the fender, then options are a little different.

If you want to make your own, look up Headers by Ed. Buy his flanges and parts. If you drive on the street, then you'll have to route the tubes over the K frame. When Ed offered headers, his mopar headers went through and under the K-frame. That's too low for general street use. His advice on welding, keeping the flanges flat, and pinching the tubes into the collector is all good. Try not to ask questions when on the phone, unless you have many hours to kill!

My suggestion is to look at the tube routing of different designs and decide what you can live with. Do they make spark plug access difficult? Do they block access to items that may need service (starter)? Run close to fuel line routes, etc etc.

I'm a big fan of Calvin Elston. He's been generous with his insight on Speedtalk and other locations.

I agree with this^^^^^^^^^^.

If you can fabricate and weld, you can build your own. I've done it, but I won't do it again. I'm too old for that crap.

But, if you can do it, especially for what you want, I'd make my own. And I would do what I could do to NOT build fender well headers. IMO, unless you are building something ally wild, I'd build something with 1.875 tubes, no more than 34 inches long and a 3 inch collector.

That's where I'd start. Fender well headers are a power killer. They are just too long.
 
Wow you guys are awesome ..now I read something on jegs website about the center line of after market heads are different bthen stock and sometimes there is fitment issues?? Is this true ...those coated ones lol sick hmmm
