V8 into 53 exhaust question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was determined to get the '62 283 I have into my '53 3100 using the stock steering box. 55-56 log style exhaust manifolds clear the steering box but an
"exhaustive" search of the internet shows no exhaust pipe solutions from the manifolds down. Any suggestions short of trailering it to an exhaust shop prior to firing the motor? I don't want to do a 20 minute cam break in just through the manifolds. FYI: Block hugger headers didn't fit even after offsetting the steering box.
