Magnum Manifolds - New plan

[Cudajason]

Well, I am making some progress, but as usual with me its slow.

Got the old exhaust off and all the hangers removed.

Time to install new hangers.

I have ordered new pipes, and I am working on cleaning up the manifolds.

I will have this thing up an running new month!!

Why not see if someone like BBK makes shorty headers for your project?

I figured for the cost / benefit they were just not worth it.

I am not after max power at this point, just trying to make the car more drivable over all.

hey look some progress!!

cleaned up the manifolds, painted them and installed them!!!

I would probably have got a bit more done but its just been to cold.

Looks good

Looks good.  How much more clearance do you have with the old 340 manifolds over the magnum manifolds?  I saw the pictures but looking for an dimensional estimate.  I think you barely had an 1/8 inch with the magnums.

Hey @PLUM72 ...you are right, about an 1/8 of an inch clearance on the magnum manifolds...and that was with a shim in the engine mounts.

With the factory manifolds, I can easily slip my hand in between the manifold and the steering box at the tightest point.
