ramhorn manifolds on our trucks? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

anyone running a set of ramhorn manifolds on our trucks? curious if they fit ok or not...kind of exploring all options, and thinking about trying a set since there's a few members that have them for sale on the 67-72 side

Ken has them on his 77...

Yeah but he is talking about 67-72 style Ramhorns. The ones I have are 63-64 FI Corvette specific.

Sorry, but I'm on the road posting from my laptop, so I can't pull pics up.

Oh, yeah I forgot I had pics posted.

Mock up-

the vette's had 2.5" collectors didnt they? any years to look for that would bolt up ok? where would be a good place to find some?

oh, and thanks for the truck porn Ken

63-64 FI 327 were 2.5". Considered to be the best flowing SBC cast manifolds of their time.

I'll have to look in my files to find out where we bought these from. I looked at a gazillion places, and can't recall exactly where they came from.

If you think they look good raw, wait till you see them coated...

I've got the set that came off my 72 on the 355 in my 80.no probs.

**N2TRUX** · 04-12-2009, 10:38 PM

Here's what they look like polished and coated.

I put 2 1/2" rams horns on my truck but used a left on the right side with no bend so I could clear the starter and fuel lines. sorry no picks yet.

I had them on before the headers, but I think the factory iron a/c bracket wouldn't work with them.

Yep you are right, I had to make up spacers to fit the compressor brackets.
