| Yes Gary those particular exhaust manifolds should fit your '63 Galaxie. A friend has a '63 XL 390/4-speed(BW T-10) with factory power steering (resevoir mounted on the left/driver's side inner fender panel). Another friend(this is you John..)attempted to install these manifolds onto his 427 in a '61 Starliner with power steering. This car is also a 4-speed. However, he ran into interference with the power steering ram unit. He considered a modification to the ram bracket to lower it I believe but then he said just screw it, he's switching to manual steering. It had the shorty HP exhaust manifolds before and they fit fine with the PS and previous C-6CJ combination. But....which transmission do you have? Automatic with column shift control? Now you've got a little problem. You will not be able to shift the column lever into Park. I saw this exact thing in a '64 390 Galaxie. The guy felt the long HP exhaust manifolds were important enough that he didn't need Park. Just a good parking brake sytem with the car in Neutral for parking/starting. Stick shift? Should not have any problems. |
