Re: V8 Swap

A 350 is what I'm installing, but I have installed the 'Flat Out Engineering' C4 suspension system. Keeping the stock column, but relocated the mount on the firewall to center the wheel to the driver, rather than closer to the the drivers door. More for a 2 passenger bench than a 3. That pushed the rack end of the column further away from the engine. It still restricted the space from the frame for exhaust. A 70 C10 drivers rams horn fits on drivers side being it cuts inwards towards the engine block leaving 1.5"+ space to the joint, but a straight dump passenger is what clears the starter and frame and I cannot remember what year/make rams horn that is. I'm switching it up to make it look more old/stock and trying to fit early 60's Vette ram horns to be able to mount generator style alternator to the manifold. The new Vette manifolds are also 2.5" not 2" exhaust, so don't know if it's going to work.
