Does anyone know where I can get some headers for a 1966 Chrysler New Yorker? Seems no one makes them due to the close tolerances that exist within the engine compartment, block, and steering components... Any ideas???

engine size would help
Rob, I would think a New Yorker would be available with a 440 *only*, although 383 may be a possibilty for other C-bodies of that vintage. Anyway, TTI should be able to fix him up if it's a big block;

yeah but never know what some folks have done to it!
What about Hooker and the other companies shorty headers? Would they work?

"Dodge-Him" lotso room in those old sleds so most b/body headers would fit I assume!

They make exhaust kits for every year LeBaron EXCEPT mine! Grrrrr
wow....canajun speak.....lol
Only thing I could do for my 64 300 was to have headers made for the car. When I stuck the Hemi in the car the steering box was way to big to get any pipes around it and stay in the frame. I could have gone the other side of the frame and into the fender wells but didn't want to do that. Don't remember how much they were but, if I recall correctly, they weren't all that much. Had them ceramic coated after they were all finished and fitted.
It is a 440, sorry that I didn't mention that in the first post...

TTI makes them, but they are around $800. Kind of a steep price for me right now... I was hoping for something around $300.....

If I were you I would roll the dice and try a set of ultra-cheapie "B-body" headers. They've got to be a damn close fit dimensionally to the C-bodies. The TTI headers are the cat's meow but they are'nt cheap.
HTH, Lefty
Cool, thanks. I can always re-sell them if they don't work, right? LOL
I again ask what about shorties... They have shown to provide outstanding performance within tight restrictions.

Yea cheapies are made to follow the block fairly well and i think in a
66 to 69 C body their is lots of room! BarryUnknown User wrote:

they show the same 2 headers for virtually all big block B & E bodies.(and I concur with Dodgem that they'll likely fit C-bodies as well)Coupla catches, tho.. (Gotta read them footnotes!) - the "shorties" need touse a mini-starter! And the full length may need to modify/replace theshifter cross-shaft.A pic. of the full length:

this all helps."Dodge-Him" >
