RE:I don't think so...

I'm looking right at section 8, page 96 of an official 1967 Full Size Ford & Mercury SHop Manual. On p. 96 there's a nice view of the left side of a 427, with the starting for '67 "Power by Ford" valve covers. I mention the valve covers because this picture is different than the '66 shop manual which shows the high pentroof valve covers. Anyway, the exhaust manifold pictured is....the "Long Style" as introduced in 1965 for the new frame. On the next page, 97, there's a picture of the right side of a dual quad 427 with the "long style" HP manifold.

I speculate, and that's all it is because I have no hard figures/facts in front of me, that a 1967 Full Size 427 -R- or -W- code is more rare than the very rare 1967 Fairlane or Comet.

I believe the block-hugging uni-body 427 exhaust manifolds were cast and introduced in late '66 for the very limited production of the 427 Fairlanes. These manifolds were carried into '67 for the limited number of Fairlanes/Comets built with the 427. Many of these "block-huggers" got thrown to the side with the quick installation of headers as most '67 powered unibodys saw quick action of the drag strip.

I have a '67 Fairlane/Comet/Mustang shop manual out-on-loan to a friend who's working on a '67 -S- code GT. That manual does have a picture of a 427 too....and it has the unibody block huggers.

Finding non power steering equipment for a '67 Merc may be a bit of a challenge. Most full size Fords/Mercs built from '65 on were equipped with PS but there's bound to be a few 4 dr. sedan, 6 cylinder/289 low optioned full size out there somewhere....good luck.
This thread, so far...
