I got lucky and a fellow friend gave me a set of Ram Horns and they fit nicely in my 52panel.
BOTH of mine have the "built in" mounting place for the gen/alt and the other side can be for A/C.
The reason I mention this is we may be over looking a good source for these ram horn headers. While trying to figure out just what year these headers were another friend of mine said they had the "mounting places" on both sides because they came off a 2 ton truck that had an oil cooler mounted on the passenger side.
I do not know if there is any truth to this or not but as info someone might confirm this?? I also believe mine came off a 327 engine. Either way they cleaned up nice and with some Calyx rubbed on them they look nice. Soooo, don't pass up a big truck in the pasture. It may just have what your looking for???? There is a pic of my ramhorns in the photobucket below.
As for steering I finally gave in an put power steering on mine. Bought a rebuilt box for a 74 model year from Advance Auto and got the kit for mounting it with everything but the pitman arm. I think the instructions said use one off a mid year malibu/Monte which I think is 5 1/2". ..... just another thought.
