I tried the Dakota manifold route on my '64 Valiant and didn't care for the tight fight, shimming motor mounts, etc.
I installed '73 360 manifolds out of a C-body. I used a Borgeson coupler at the steering box their universal joint further up the steering shaft. The only massaging was the enginge pipe flange at the coupler-no big deal.
I welded up 2 1/4" mandrel bends back to the cross member with plenty of room aound the starter. Nice fit, plenty of engine bay room and looks a heck of a lot better than those up swept left side manifolds. And best of all...Cheap! :thumbup:
