HEADERS BIG BLOCK MOPARS

[LURCH426]

Like to see some one make headers for a big block mopars.383/440.All ways see big block Chevy no Chrysler headers.I'm working on some using soidering wire.Trying to get the bends and curves right.

It may be due to the fact that on most of the 1:1 Mopar cars, those darn torsion bars were always getting in the way.

The '67 Coronet/GTX/Charger kits include some 4-into-1 headers for use with the Hemi engine, but you're right, I don't think any of the 440 equipped newer 1/25 Revell Mopar kits include headers, just exhaust manifolds.

The Lindberg Color Me Gone 64 Max Wedge kit has the only set of Mopar headers that are close to correct that I know of. The Landy Dart has headers but they don't have the right bends to them, if you've ever seen BB Mopar headers you know they look different than other makes. The front ports (cylinders #1 & 2) make a turn and go rearward before dropping down.

Modelhaus has some that were used on early Stage wedge 413 & 426.

MCW has fenderwell headers from the Johan '64 Dodge.

the odd thing to me about the Dick Landy Darts headers is that they are under chassis type and not the fenderwell style that is common to big-block A-bodies. i don't know if that was the style he ran on that Super Stocker or not, i've never looked into it. i did buy a case of those kits though specifically for the headers and deep sump oil pans. those headers fit the Revell B-bodies nicely if you want to do a 383-440 powered version with speed equipment too. now for me it's just faster and easier to make them from solder to fit any application i need them for. no more hunting around for headers that probably wont fit anyway when you do find them. i would like a set from the Johan Super Stock Dodge though, just to have and use as a pattern

Its pretty safe to say that Landy didn't run that style header on his Dart in 68 or 69 seeing as it was the mid-90's before TTI was the first company to make anything other than fenderwell headers for a 383/440 A body Mopar.
