I have the manifolds for the original 1955 265 engine….It came out of a bel Aire car. The left side exhaust manifold (2 bolt flange) drops out near the #3 cylinder. In fact the only reason Im using factory manifolds at all is because the generator mount.
Also, I looked at a thread on the same subject from 2008..that is, swapping a inline 6 to V-8….Apparently there is a different shifter box which uses a 'S' type arm which provides enough clearance from the exhaust manifold.
It is new information to me that I will need entirely new shift linkage…hopefully a fellow bolter will have a pair out there.
