Headers VS Manifolds

Johnny....the ports at the head are exactly the same size as the HIPO 340 manifolds....the restriction comes at the dump end and it is only 1/2 in difference....you may have seen them....but you can bet there were MUCHO modifications to get them in.... and it is likely the car they were in did not have a /6 K frame...the motor sits a lil different with the /6 K & schumakers

Waggin....the /6 K & the V8k are different.... the RHS base mount is in a totally different location...hence the need for the schumaker mounts and THEY are also different from the mounts used for v8 to v8 K.... the center link was a wild card, some /6's had the big dipper others did not....but those 340 manifolds NO way are fitting with a v8 & /6 k...they actually keep the motor off the mount by resting on the steering coupler...and where that coupler is on Manual steering is the same spot as the top end of the power steering chuck...... so NO way is it fitting with PS and the /6k....I had PS.... that was my first attempt, I sold the newly rebuilt PS unit because of that..went to manual to try & get them to work.......I am forced to believe its the K that makes the difference.

The trans is pretty much in the same position as the 904 would be, maybe 1/2 inch lower at the outside( and a whole lot tighter fit)....but not enough to hose the geometry of the shaft. in order to get that height, I had to modify the stock 727 tranny mount....it is now a solid mount but the motor will be "buckled" torq side so I am not real worried about it.

ANYBODY try those stainless truck headers on a early A?
