| Post subject: | Installed Clifford Headers Today- 2 Questions |
Put a set of long 2 piece (high starter) Clifford headers on my 69 Dart today (w/ homemade 4 bl. manifold). The rear unit rides right up against the steering column. The column turns and I guess this will be all right. But the front unit collector is right next to and right under the front left corner of the 904 trans- in fact I'm wondering if I can drop the pan w/o loosening the headers. Will I be fighting heat issues because of this- do I need to install a separate trans cooler just for this? |

I've dropped the pan on my 904 w/clifford headers on the car. Granted this is on a 71 duster w/225 and not a 69, but that shouldn't be relevant to dropping the transmission pan. I wouldn't worry about a trans cooler. My 904 is happy just the way it is, I've seen exhaust setups on other cars/engines with the cross pipe in close proximity to the trans pan. If your really worried you can use header tape around the collector in that area, or build a sheet metal heat shield. |

This worries me, you don't want anything interfering with your steering.The rear unit rides right up against the steering column. The column turns and I guess this will be all right.... If the engine torques or the body flexes it could jam the steering. I would bend the pipe to make some clearance. DD |
