Re: 1952 Chevy Vette Roadmaster LT1 Farm Truck Build
I've seen the hooker cast manifolds. Nice but much more $$$$. May have to go that route. Hard finding examples of other builds that are using a C4 front cross member like mine in a 47-54 chevy truck and a LS engine. With the rack being higher on the cross member compared to other IFS setups using T bird racks, the engine looks like it has to sit a bit higher.
The flange on the manifolds sit about 3/4" above the frame rail. They are about 1/2" too wide on each side. The Camaro manifolds came with the cats and resonator still bolted to the manifold. There is a flex type coupling between the flange and the cat. That may be handy.
I would have to notch the frame to use these manifolds but would rather not if i can help it.
Will know better by end of day today after I do some more fiddling and farting around with engine placement. Gotta figure out what surface on the engine I should go by to set the 3 degree downward angle. The rear is already set.
Cheers!
