TTI FOOTNOTE # 32
Factory Engine Location Specifications: K-members are not all identical and the dimensions must be checked to ensure proper fit. Check your engine location prior to installation of your TTI Headers. TTI Headers were designed to fit with the engines located to the factory specifications. If the engine is not located correctly in the chassis, the headers will not fit properly. If necessary, place shims between the insulator assembly and the K-frame mounting pad to achieve the proper dimensions. Shim kits and engine mounts can be purchased from Schumacher Creative Services of Seattle, WA (206) 364-7151.
Gen 3 Hemi Crate Engines / 62-65 B-body applications (with spool mounts)
From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 6-3/8" (to be determined). The engine is also offset towards the passenger-side. Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail, the difference should be 2-1/2" (to be determined).
Gen 3 Hemi Crate Engines / 67-76 A-body / 66-74 B-body / 70-74 E-body applications
From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 5-5/8” for A-bodies (5-7/8” with spool mounts) and 5-3/8” for B&E-bodies (6” with spool mounts). The engine is also offset towards the passenger-side. Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail, the difference should be 3-1/4” for A-bodies (2-3/8” with spool mounts) and 2-1/2” for B&E-bodies.
