Headers VS Manifolds

waggin.
""but being the motor mounts are at the front of the engine when you lower the trans it causes the manifold to hit the coupler. so I guess you will have to get some headers because your kinda stuck since the car is this far along or switch to a 904 transmission.""

I just rebuilt the 727, 4 gear planetary s 4 clutch drums shift kit and a 2800/3000 stall......wanted something kinda bullet proof
had 904's in the past, burned everyone of them to the ground....have not had good luck with 904's 5 to be specific ( this is not a thread about the benefits of 904's please just leave it at that)

The motor mounts are at the rear most position ( behind the tabs to the rear)
the 340 manifolds do not hit the TOP of the coupler. the dump flange hits the side/bottom of the coupler from the bottom up....if i raised the back of the trans it would hit deadon....... I am also finding out( today) that I have the incorrect oil pan. Apparently mine was "switched" at the rebuilders "by accident." I now have a later model front sump pan that is beveled on only ONE side and my drag link hits it squarly where the bevel should be on the drivers side and stops the steering....ever just have one of those days?...... how do you loose an oil pan by accident?......they must have been building several 340's at the same time, pink ones to boot( dont ask)....RIGHT!! and my min pin kicks 500 yard field goals....I am NOT having a good day with this one.

OK so now my choices are
TTI - expensive beyond reasonable
Hedman - if you can find em and they will fit?? expensive
Hooker - cut my wheel wells all to hell expensive
Spitfires - I would have an easier time finding Usama Bin Laden
Laysons spitfires / 6 mod - BACKORDERED no delivery date since the company who made them is out of business
CUSTOM MADE - My exhaust guy is still frowning from me just thinkin about it

DAMN I LOVE DOING THIS .... I must be a glutton for punishment LOLOLOL
