I have Thorleys on my 440 which I believe are the same as Dougs (since Thorely is his last name). I got them from Summit.  Uses the stock starter. Can you see em'?

I have Hooker super comps on my 340, passenger side sits a little lower than driver, no clearance issues unless you are driving over big speed bumps

I checked the clearance on my car today and it looks like if I convert to the Doug's I will pick up a good 4 inches of ground clearance. So i think I will go that route. Thanks everyone for the input. Now I just got to get the money together to do, because not only am I going to replace the headers but while I'm in there I will put the power steering back in and a mini starter.

Are you looking for measurements?

I can get the Doug's measurements for you if you want.


I like to drive mine everywhere and it sits pretty low in the front no issues.  The roads aren't so hot here either with plenty of speedbumps. :eek4:

Brake Proportioning valve.  I swapped to Discs from drums and added it for adjustability.
