This has probably been answered before but I can't locate it and need to get my plans in order. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 45 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 45 | Usually the exhaust manifold on the drivers side is in conflict with the original steering box . Some chevy manifolds go up along the valve cover instead of down right away (if that makes sense) and these help on clearance , Also I have seen something about moving the steering box outward - away from the engine alittle bit. Most likely the engine/trans. will have to be offset towards the passinger side a bit instead of being centered exactly in the frame. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 328 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 328 | I think they refer to those manifolds as "Ram's Horns"...
fairly inexpensive and in reproduction in a couple of places

They go up from the exhaust ports (like the ramhorns) but the "dump" was between the 1st and 3rd exhaust ports - which cleared the steering box . I think there was a similar manifold used on some '80's chevy cars also. | | |
