Here you can see the headers compared to the engine, trans.

MM383, I have 8" from the front center of the K-frame down and 26 1/2" center of front wheel opening down to ground.
 Also I don't know what all the header companies tubes look like, but some of the other companies I don't care for. Some of the tubes make a sharp bend or curve right off the heads. (not good for flow).

Just out of interest. Here is the Dougs 440 headers in my Challenger.

The torsion bars are not in yet but by looking through the LCA pivot holes in the k-frame to the hex hole in the trans crossmember I have a clear line of sight along where the torsion bars will go and the headers are well clear.

The mini starter has so much clearence a stock starter should be OK. The kickdown linkage also has plenty of room.

I have manual steering but there is also plenty of room for a power steering box.

All pretty good for 2-inch primaries into 3.5-inch collectors.

The last time I used Hedman headers the collector flanges hit the torsion bars, the primaries hit the starter motor (both kinds), interfered with the power steering box I had, and the flanges were not level.

I will NEVER go back to cheap headers.
