Small Block Mopar Headers

[Fordication]

Hey guys. This guy claims these headers are for a SBM car and will not fit his truck. I have a 73 Challenger with a 318, with AC and with power steering. Should I take a chance. We cannot identify them.

Use Google Lens to do an image search, it will find what they are.
They seem to be Hooker 5901-1HKR

In my opinion, I would pass. Either of the three are less hassle to live with: Hooker #5115, Doug 453(?) and TTI 1 5/8 or their stepped header. Cheap deals usually aren't good deals!

Low hanging no good for speed bumps hang under the drag link

Those are the standard low end small block headers for all Dodge and Plymouth cars. This exact configuration has been made by Headman, Hooker, Mr Gasket, Blackjack, Cyclone, etc, so on and so forth. They are a decent budget header. At $140 for coated units, this isn't a bad price.

As others have pointed out, three tubes on the driver's side wrap around the drag link/tie rod. Installation requires removal of the driver's side tie rod.

In my use, I have never hit these tubes on anything. But that is highly dependent upon your car's ride height. However, every car I've purchased that had these on them, had those three tubes flattened on the bottom, so obviously they can be damaged. Several tests I have seen over the years show that some restrictions in header tubes are not an impediment to performance, so the damage I've seen hasn't been a factor in degrading how well the engine runs.

I had a set of ground beaters back on my 70 duster.
That was all they made back then. I promised myself I would be good, and not enter the hilly interections fast. (Seattle but envision streets of san fransisco).
They lasted 2 days.
Now I have tti. Best money ever spent.

The only 3 small block choices Hooker 5115 , TTI or Dougs , nothing else is worth wasting time with

My first headers looked like that and after driving a few miles the low hanging tubes were crushed half closed.
