This is what came on my engine. I am puttiong this 350 in the I-6 position. Is anyone using this style? will i have a wack of trouble with shift linkages with these? anyone know ?

**nightmare** · 06-10-2003, 05:31 PM

those are from a 73-87 engine, right? anyhow, i've got those on my GMC, no problems with the shifter linkages. mine is also an auto, is yours?

Dubie, I think you will have problems with the clutch linkage with those manifolds......crazyL

*Slams_58* · 06-10-2003, 07:42 PM

So should we get some center dumps?

JHickson6 · 06-10-2003, 07:47 PM

nah, get some headers!!!

*Slams_58* · 06-10-2003, 08:15 PM

we had some headers, but someone stolle them from inside the cab while it was parked outside Tims shop. Damn thieves

I think center dumps , or headers......I prefer headers, but thats just me

If you go center dumps, you migt consider the vette straight dumps(bigger pipe can be installed), & they should clear fine with the eng in I 6 position. Good luck,crazyL

Is "center dump" the ramhorn manifold?

Won't the dump be right in the middle of the back part of the engine saddle??

BTW, pic isn't mine and the sketching on there isn't mine either... just wanted to post an image of what I'm calling a ramhorn exhaust.

with the eng mounted in I 6 position, it will be 3 1/2" rearward (plus or minus 1/8") from factory V8 sb position. The straight rams horns should clear the crossmember......they would be a bit of a clearance problem with the eng in factory position(hence the angled rams horns.......crazyL

With the sb in I 6 position, the oil pan can also be removed from the eng with the eng mounts in place.....many pros to the situation

that HEI dist sure fits tight tho..... crazyL

Blue Beard · 06-10-2003, 09:42 PM

I used the ram horn with the 45 degree angle......worked good

BobM · 06-10-2003, 10:10 PM

I have a pair of center dump ram horns you can have cheap. If you're in the Peg some time soon, give me a call, or send me an e-mail.

*Slams_58* · 06-10-2003, 11:00 PM

We should be in the Peg on the 29th of this month! We're hoping to get together with any board members that will be around that weekend. Not sure if they decided on a place to meet tho!

Dubie I have a complete exhaust system from front to back .. came off a 71 GMC 1/2 ton long box with a 350 that was hooked to a 4 speed. It was a complete new exhaust system I took off a wrecked truck... has ram horn turn backs....heat riser too... its very nice... still shiny too. The exhaust dumps out just in front of the rear tires. Check with me when your in town.
I got lots of ram horns too if you just need those.
Hmm I even posted this exhaust way back when,,, I try to find it in the posts. Rod
