exhaust manifolds

did it on Jake's 65 Bcuda... had to flatten the inner fender on the right side, shimmed the left side motor mount up about 1/4 of an inch, cut the extended collar off the steering column near the firewall, and took the manifolds to a machine shop and had 3/16 taken off the mounting surface of the manifolds. All that with the cast iron heads on his 318.... We just dropped in a stroked 360 with aluminum heads and were able to remove 1/8 of the spacing on the left mount and have about an 1/8 more clearance on the right side now.... Car has standard steering. Would never work on the left side with power steeering. We did not have to get a newer smaller steering column coupler.

our build thread shows it near the end of our build - The teardown of Jake's 65 Begins. I had also posted in Treblig's thread on the subject, and I think I made my own thread in the exhaust forum?
