Will one of these work?

I searched and asked a lot of questions prior to starting. There are so many opinions about whether the driver side manifold will fit or not, how to shim they driver side motor mount, cutting a few inches off of the steering tube to clear the manifold. I know the manual steering shaft will work. I just don’t have one. If one of these universal joint couplers doesn’t not work then I will spend time marking something that does.
cool, but it looks like either a early 340 manifold or a v8 early A manifold would give you the clearance you need
