Re: Will My Truck Exhaust manifolds Fit?

That's kind of what I figured. I just wasn't sure because of the 73+ frame stands and mounts I was using. When I just installed the engine yesterday/ today I could get the truck manifolds to work if I slid the engine all the way back. However then I had a bunch of other issues to deal with (driveshaft, tranny linkage, firewall clearance, etc). So I slid the engine all the way forward to correct those issues and then the stock truck manifolds (at least the passenger side) was hitting the frame rail. I think the TBSS manifolds will be cheaper and easier in the long run rather than jacking with the driveshaft and tranny linkage. I could trim away about 3/4-1 inch on the top rail on the passenger side and use the truck manifolds, but I think I will just go with the TBSS manifolds and make it easier on myself. Thanks for the input guys!
