Bought another 70 Road Runner with a 440 and looking for modern header recomendations as the ones on there are beat up pretty good and want to coat the new ones for heat ; I know some hammer modifications because of the steering gear box may be needed= is there any out there that fit better ? Thanks

AZ Desert,
TTI is the best followed by Dougs. They aint cheap but no hammer needed and you can get them coated also

I bought some unknown brand name headers and 3" dual exhaust for my 70' Road Runner locally for $200.00. I couldn't pass it up. The headers fit better than any of the Hooker or Hedman brand name headers that I ever had. Didn't have to dig a single tube.

Seems like where the starter is we always had to bend them in just a bit to clear. LOL. Hey Joe bring me a bigger hammer. LOL. Nice to find a set that fits.

Just picked up these TTI polished ceramic coated headers this past week. Not cheap but I'm told they will fit with no mods needed.

Super nice, expensive. I replaced my old trusty rusty ones that came on car with Jeg’s brand coated ones. No fitment issues and I’m satisfied.

Wow. A rare Coyote sighting. Quickie told us that you ran off and joined some electric car racing team and didn't have time for us anymore... :poke:

unless you you have a mini starter i had to auj one tube on mine
Yes, I have the 440 Source mini starter. Needed it for my Doug's and STILL had to get the BFH after them. I even had to grind down the starter tab where the connecting rod goes thru for a little extra clearance.
