TTI + Roadrace Pan + Exernal oiling = Problem

[gkent]

A couple pics to show the clearance. These are Dougs big tube headers. My plan is some insulating wrap on that line once the motor is ready to go in the car.

Worth noting is your bung has a significant "tilt" to it - aiming it at the header, whereas mine is straight up.

Thank you!
This fits nicely.
Will go on next week with it.

The best I can do without lifting the car.

How far does it need to be moved in? My 900+hp 572 has a tube squeezed about a 1/2" for torsion bar clearance. It doesnt know the difference.

Ding the header pipe and don’t look back.

Hello!
Today we checked fitment of the Headers with the oilline from the pan.
No chance with this.
I do not want to ding this header as much as nescessary.
I bought this 1 7/8 headers about 8 years ago new.
What to do with ist?
Rewelding the pipe?
Thanks for help!

I have the ones that TTI makes to fit the Indy block. I looked in my album but cannot find a shot of that area when I was fitting things up. I may have done a little thumping in that area but it was almost 3 years ago. I think more of the tube dinging was around block fasteners, engine swap mounts and maybe some on the K. One of the reasons I got them bare.

Done

See if you can get some heat wrap on that tube. It will slow down some of the exhaust heat transfer into that fitting. Also put some high temp antisieze on that fitting. With the heat, aluminum hose end, irridated steel bung on the pan, you have an unholy trinity waiting to happen for a seized/stuck fitting down the road.

Hello!
Yes I will, this is just mock up

Good deal. When I got my TTI'S, I made sure they were bare steel as I figured, correctly, that there would need to be some bumping/grinding/moving etc needed. Since my project is a 65 with 70 k-frame with Schumacher Hemi, block has Hemi bosses, to regular v8 k unit I would be dreaming to assume all would clear perfectly.
