Stop in for a cup of coffee

So what do you think of using 318 exhaust manifolds on a 360??

The situation is: I am putting together a 74 dust pan. Came in with a locked and trashed 318.

Someone had converted it to dual exhaust.
So I took the offending 318 out and put in a running 77 360 complete with manifolds.

Problem is the exhaust was built around the 318 manifolds which has a different angle on the driver side. The 318 manifold has more of a twist under the steering shaft and towards the inner fender. Just enough to not fit but almost, not exactly, So options are:

Remove the exhaust pipe and cut and weld a piece of pipe that was on the 360 car to eliminate the 318 manifold twist

Or

Install the 318 manifolds on the 360 and bolt them right up to the exhaust
