Re: lq4 6.0 swap into '85 Crew Cab Shorrbed
I've been going crazy trying to find some decent price exhaust manifolds for about a month now. In my research i found that the F-body manifolds would be the best bet to fit, but no guarantees. So after looking for the past week for some, i finally had a set turn up on ebay. I bid on them and then decided it would be wise to sell a few of my truck manifolds that i had in my parts box. As i got pulling them out, it turns out, i have had some f-body manifolds all along. I remembered i had got off a blown up motor a friend gave before he moved last summer. I just bolted 'em up on my '85 and they fit perfect....tons of room. If you need any measurements off these manifolds let me know. The SN's are: 12611640 and 12611641. I google'd them and it looks like they're about $83-$100 a piece.
I had originally started notching the passenger side frame for the truck manifolds but then stopped when i realized the driver's side was gonna be a lot worse to pipe up due to it sticking outward instead of rear-of-truck-ward. Driver's side frame is not notched in these pics (stock)
