My son and I just finished installing Doug's headers into his 408, 4 speed 70 Duster.
The headers are very nice and we used the TTI offset Z bar.
We started off pulling the steering cross tie, 90 degree oil filter adapter, radiator and starter. Then came the steering column and box. Oh and the pitman had to come off too. After lifting the motor the DS went in. We wrestled the PS header for a while and then he had to go to work. I ended up pulling the PS torsion bar and in went the PS header. After all of the head scratching and tool search this was about 14 hours. To do it again would MAYBE take 8, soup to nuts.
This subject has been beat to death but I'll add my two cents.
Pull these items, lift the engine, support the trans with a floor jack and the headers should go right in...
Radiator
Steering cross tie
Steering column
Steering box
PS Torsion bar
A mini starter can be installed with the headers attached.
FWIW
