Ridetech Tru-Turn with big block

[dragonfly jones]

We run Patriot headers on BB cars with tru turn. They work great. Also help provide better ground clearance.

Do the clear the power steering pump?

yes, we did have to dent one of the primary tubes for the 600 box on one car. very minor.

Anyone got pics of the Lemon headers modified yet?

Sorry for the long delay on the update, but finally got the shocks installed and sway bar. Everything went ok during the install. Next is to have the headers modified so the don't hit the raised steering arms. I will post pics of the finished headers afteris gets back fro the chassis shop.

Look forward to the update Chuck. Thanks

Finally got the headers finished and received my spacers for the front coilovers. I contacted ridetech and they did not offer any spacers for the strong arms but found some after contacting chassis works. I will post some pics up when I get on the computer.

So it’s been years since this thread was started. Yet ridetech is still screwing people me included for the sake of a sale with no solution! I went through exactly what I had going into my car. I was told that their complete system with the newest tru-turn would work in my car with the big block. NOT! Has there been any know fixes or solutions out of this situation while still using the ridetech parts ?
HOPING TO GET LUCKY HERE /// I wish someone would capitalize on a long tube header that would work..
let me show a hint of my frustration

Wow I was seriously looking into the tru turn for my 68 BB, glad I decided not to go this route

I honestly wish someone designed a header that would work with a big block and the truturn. If there was a known header t that worked I would be ordering the entire ride tech front setup

I believe most run shorty or mid-length type headers to avoid the problem

I know this is off topic but if running a Pontiac engine the Pontiac Long Branch exhaust manifolds fit perfectly with a Pontiac engine and the first generation Camaro / Firebird sub.

The brutally strong 421 with a set of 1967 400 670 closed chamber heads would make a cool and different street engine.
Those engines with Fireball behind the wheel were some of the greatest NASCAR races ever. My Pontiac street engines all ran best with closed chamber heads and cams with 114-116 lobe seperation cams.
