I ended up using the hooker manifolds and they worked well. I have two issues. I ended up having to clearance the top of the frame rail a little bit (1/2 inch or so) but I boxed the rail in so it should be fine. They also hit the heat shield for the starter. I can run the stock starter for now but when I start driving I will have to find a mini starter or something so they aren't so close.

How did you run your transmission lines? On the side of the block like stock? I was going to use some AN-6 line I have but I cant find a good way to route it. I might have to go hard lines along the block.
