68 Satellite headers

[Stroked438]

I am putting a set of edelbrock RPM heads on my 68 Sport Satelite with a 440 in it. I have run RPM heads on a past D150 with a 440 but I don't know what headers that were on it. They were on the truck when I got it but I put the heads on it. The headers were 1 3/4 I would guess for a B body because the frame was notched for them. The headers fit them fine. My question is what headers fit the B body with the angle pug RPM heads. I noticed when I bought the heads that Edelbrock says a 2 inch minimum diameter header is required. My question is what headers is everyone using on there B body with RPM heads. I have run Indy 440-1 heads with the Hooker Super Comps with good luck but what is fitting the best. This is a street car so I will be using full exhaust also.

I've used 1-7/8 hookers with those heads, plug boots were tight and a few tubes needed some beating to clear the plugs. Now have 1-7/8 TTIs, no problems. Changing all 8 plugs takes me 15 minutes..

I don't really need a 2 inch header for the engine, it would be a little big, the main reason I am asking is because of the heads. I haven't seen that in the past on the heads.

i think dougs makes a 1 3\4" that will fit thoes heads

I ordered a set of TTI. I went up to Bowling Green, KY to the Holley Moparty and looked at several different headers. By TTI and Dougs were the best fitting.

U used 2" Dougs on my 496 RB. I have the Source "Stealth" CNC Ported Heads. They fit like a glove. The flanges are much thicker than other brands, including Hooker Super Comps. They are a bit heavier than others, but the quality was so good that I bought another set for my 64 Fury with 452 heads. You may want to check to see if the angle plug design works though. The heads I used are both like the factory design. Good luck.
