Is there a manifold for a 305 that exits between the firewall and first sparkplug rather than between the 1rst and 2nd plug?

Alternatively, the engine could be offset to the pass. side an inch or so............shouldn't hurt anything.
Heck, most F O R D S are like that, with the engine off-center to make up for the drivers weight. (so I have been told by a F O R D aficionado) :rolleyes: .

You would just have to run a longer exhaust pipe on that side. Wannabe  P.S. Maybe you could check out the stock manifolds on a late model LT4 F-body (Camaro/Firebird). If memory serves, they kick way up, the tops are even with the tops of the valve covers.
