Exh manifolds in an Early A...

View attachment 1715327838 340 manifold on early abody is not a good combo. Binds up at steering column.

Never modified one but the factory early a- exhaust manifold for drivers side is the best route. But very restrictive for anything but a 273 stock motor. People use it all the time but I’m just saying it could be better.

I used the 2.50” tti exhaust for the stock manifolds (273) and duals making the needed mods to the transmission mount. I’ll see if I can add pictures.

We modded the crossmember for duals, so we're half way there. Just need to get from the exhaust manifold flanges down to the jegs 2.5" kit. I realize if we stick with the 273 manifolds, we are going from 1-7/8 to 2.5 so we'll be playing step up games.
