I have a 360 Magnum in my 71 Satellite Sebring. It currently has headers on it (not sure what type, but looking at web pictures definitely not TTI or Doug's, look more like Flowtech, Patriot, or Hooker).
Found today that the pitman arm is hitting one of the tubes on full lock.
Also, despite the Magnum Swap site saying that LA headers bolt right up to a Magnum there is a slight mismatch to the ports.
Is there a fix to the pitman arm hitting the tube (other then denting the tube further than it already is)? It has new engine mounts. Is it possible the engine is slightly off centre?
If I went for new headers to fix the interference problem, can LA headers be made with Magnum exhaust flanges to fix the port mismatch? Is this something that TTI, Doug's , Hooker, etc will do?
If I went for new I would probably consider shorty style headers to eliminate the tightness around the steering area. There are shorty headers made for Magnum motors, would they work?
Anyone with any experience on this?
