Manifold problem
Slight problem with my factory exhaust manifolds. They hit my motor stands. I am using my stock 6 cyl engine stands with adapter plates. The manifolds hit the stans on both sides. What will fit? Headers are out of my budget. F body, TBSS? Thanks

Re: Manifold problem
I was going to look for some SS manifolds as well, my pass side truck manifold hits the perch and the flange rubs the frame.
They are are kind of hard to come by from where I am brousing around, uness you buy new ones which I think Dorman makes too. They are over $150 each though, I wonder if I can use just the pass side and use the truck manifold for the drivers? Humm.

Re: Manifold problem
Bad news, Got the TBSS manifolds today......no go. They still hit the frame stand. A little bit closer, but still not going to bolt in.
Pics taken with bolt in rear most manifold hole.

Re: Manifold problem
I should have stated before that I used the '73-up perches and mounts. They don't bolt in but was an easy mod for the height difference in frame rails of the 67-72 and 73-87. I had to use the tbss manifolds and the 73-87 motor mounts. I apologize for not providing all the information.

Re: Manifold problem
All good man. I just need to figure this out, maybe the 73+ mounts will work for me.

Re: Manifold problem
those manifolds are pretty thick....doesn't look like you need much off of them?

Re: Manifold problem
I used 6 Cylinder Stands originally, I couldnt get Truck Manifolds, or F body manifolds to fit at all without cutting and griding on the engine stands. I've since removed them for v8 stands because I didnt like how far back the motor sits with the 6 cylinder stands.
