Good score at the Denver Swap meet for my '53 3100

Called Classic Performance Products Tech line for advice about the steering box/exhaust manifold conflict I'm having putting a 283 in my '53 3100.
Even block hugger headers would not fit. He said log style manifolds from a 55 or 56 265 V8 would work. Saw a set on e-bay for $100 but at the Tri State swap meet in Denver yesterday I found a set for $20! Took them home and mocked it up and it's going to work. This project took a quantum leap forward.
I'll have my son powell72 post some pics.
