header fitment

[Aussi440]

Everyone, I am interested in building a 500 stroker for my 68 Charger using 440 source.  My question is about headers.  Right now I have a Mopar Performance mini starter in the car and would most likely re-use it.  Does anyone have experience with Dougs, TTI or Tri-Y headers from engine-swaps.com.  Just wondering if I will need to dent anything to make them fit a mini starter.  I had Mopar performance headers on it years ago and had to dent the #7 tube.

I have tti 2 1/8 primary tubes on my motor with no dents or dings of any kind. But at the same note, i had the standard el cheapo hedmans on the last engine that required no dents or dings of any kind either. I have heard horror stories from all brands and styles. I think it comes down to productiin variables and your specific car and how it has twisted amd settled over the last 50 yrs.

The Shumacher tri-y's fit nice and plug changes are a breeze.
Edit: I would recommend using their flanges (supplied) and weld up your own head pipes rather than use the ones they sell.

For what its worth, my big tube headers take about 5 minutes per side to change. 10 per side if its hot.
