I'm using a later model 350 in a 59 frame. The exhaust manifold hits the steering box. I bought a set of center dump block hugger headers today, and these seem to be riding awfully close to the steering box. Mabey I don't have the engine far enough forward, or do I need a different set of headers? I know this has got to fit somehow. What say you guys?

Hy martinmikey, V8s were an option on Chevy trucks from 55b to now, so you must have an engine positioning problem. Are you using any of the stock mounting locations?

the usual modern manifolds on 350's don't work - the V8 in the TF trucks had the rams horn manifolds [center dump] - they're this close to the box and work fine

ALRIGHT, I stopped at a local salvage yard tonight and bought a pair of rams horn manifolds for 40.00 bucks, went to the barn to try em out, their going to work fine. Also found the v-belt pullys I needed, and a firewall power brake booster with duel master cylinder for $20.00. Bill thanks for that photo, it helped alot. Pretty good night so far.
