Best headers for trick flow

[Rob Vaughn]

I have a 69 Coronet 440 I'm putting some trick flow 270s on what headers are the best fit probably going with 2 7/8 auto transmission.
I put lot of headers on since the 80s and went all out and bought a set of TTIs for an a body because of all the hype and I can't say I was impressed. Don't get me wrong there good headers but they didn't seem to fit much better than hookers

I run Doug's on my 65 without any dings and cussing.I also run the TF 270,s. Plug clearance is no problem.

I think I'm going to have to give them a try that's about the only header I haven't tried

I put 2" TTI headers on my 69 GTX, with 240 TF's, they fit great.

I did use the small starter & borgsen steering box.

Post your results after getting them installed please. I will be dealing with the same thing next summer on my Bee. I have used TTI's on 2 B-bodies with not bad results, but like you put a set on my Duster last year and ended up denting a tube to make them work. Plan on using the Trick Flow heads and would really like to try the Dougs headers.

Saaaweeet! Did you have to use the aftermarket steering box or will stock work?

 

[69 GTX]

I believe stock works. I just upgraded because the cost wasn't that much more than stock, and I wanted a little better ratio. I probably overkilled on the 2" headers, Jim said my engine was right on the border of 1 7/8 & 2. I found a killer deal on the 2" so bought them.

Whatever happened to equal lenght headers? Someday I want to put together a little red wagon like pickup. Just so I can put an eight into one equal lenght header on it. Wonder how it would sound at idle with a big cam? LOL.
