Just barely fit
By Greg Westphall - 07/25/2005 1:01:19 PM; IP 12.158.13.35
Thanks for all the replys. Regardless of what chassis these long length exhaust manifolds are intended for, they are finally in. Had to remove the steering box to get the manifold in place, then reinstall steering box. It is a very close fit. When the car is placed in reverse you can sometimes feel a slight vibration through the steering wheel and on large bumps when in drive. To alleviate this, the best idea seems to be to remove the steering box and machine .020 - .040 off of the mounting surface and do the same with the left exhaust manifold. This will gain the required clearance. We still need to do this. Also, we could shim the motor mounts to raise the engine slightly. The problem with this is that the dual quad intake air cleaners appear to be very close to the underside of the hood. They (exhaust manifolds) look great when in place. No other clearance issues. Can turn lock to lock with no linkage interfence. We had a stainless steel exhaust bent up for it with a cross-over. They did a great job.
