Do Hedman Elite headers fit very well on 68-70 B-bodies?

[Blakcharger440]

I am planning on getting some Hedman Elite ceramic coat headers for my 70 Charger that I am building with a 512 stroker. I am looking for a header that you can get to the spark plugs fairly easy and not too difficult to install.

Anybody run a set of these?

i dont believe the headman elites are ceramic coated, i believe they are aluminum coated the same as exhaust pipe.  they are also thicker gauge than  standard headmans but i believe they are shaped the same.     what heads will you be using?    arent they only 1.75 inch tubes?  wouldnt a 512 like a little bigger tube?.

Yep I think you are correct as the Summitt book says they are "thermal coated".

I will be using the Stealth heads. I have not heard anything good about the fit of Hooker Super Comps although the diameter would definitely fit the buildup better.

I dont have the bucks right now for TTI's so they are out of the question.

The Headmans are waaay too small for that 512 like Runner said. 

Look at the d452 Thorley headers which have a 2in primary tube diameter and fit well. They are much cheaper than the TTI's

I will definitely check out those Doug Thorleys, as the 2 in primary sounds pretty good!

I have them on the 440 in the '69. They actually fit pretty good. Although I don't have power steering or power brakes. I put an x-pipe exhaust to them. But I would have to agree that if you are building a 512, the 1 3/4 are gonna be a bit restrictive.

Ron,

Do you have a link to those headers?  I tried to find them in summit but all I could find were Thorley's with 1 3/4 same as hedman's.

I just put a set on my 74 360  they fit nice        the only problem i had was i had to get a different piece built for my exaust so it fit    just watch to "some  adjustment  needed" if you buy new exaust kit  it was only 40 but i didn't catch the note    so was unhappy when it didn't work on the one side

I think jegs has them as well

[my73charger]

Wow those look nice. I wonder if they would fit my 73 with the 440 and power steering?
