doug's header confusion

[EMCD]

summit racing has doug's headers for a '72 cuda, but it states that they don't fit with a 727 tranny. can that be true? I thought the cuda only comes with a 727.

That's strange.   

Fellow member 72challorange has Doug's on his 340 stroked to 422 cubic inches, and I believe he has a 727.

[EMCD]

is it one size fits all? it looks like the header fiit a, b and e body cars. is it a univeral fit?

[Moparal]

Usually means wont fit column shift. The linkage gets in the way.  Sometimes you may see a denotation saying with or without power steering

Yep, fits sb 727 + 904 with floor shift auto for sure.  I use an MP mini starter.

the catalog says they don't fit column shift cars but do fit floor shifts as others have indicated

    Same here..... 318/727/floor shift.  Love the Dougs.

[EMCD]

what is the appropriate doug's headers model # for the headers for a 72 cuda?

It looks like you have two choices. D453, and D453-R.  Do yourself a favor and spring for the D453. The ceramic coating suppresses the heat quite a bit.

Hopefully, you have a small block

Hopefully, you have a small block

Jeez, 

   I hope so.

yep, i'm taking out the original 340 block and dropping in a rebuilt 360 with doug's headers.
