no steering box in this case. I'll be using the power R/P.
my thinking is the swept back exhaust exit manifold will allow for an easier routing of the tube, and keep the engine box a bit cooler.

The issue is with the small block chevy motor exhausting, over the years Gm has made several manifold configurations due to assembly needs.

I was hoping to hear from some guys who might have gone this route, in place of the standard "block hugger" headers.

it's not that they (headers) won't work, I would however prefer a cast manifold

So the issue becomes, which year manifold actually works. Since your friend gave you a set.....what year were they? And what did they come out of?
