6.4 Jeep SRT8 Exhaust Manifolds
Little update, thought I would take a chance on a set of the late 5.7 car manifolds given that the motor is not going into a Mopar body. Basically, I think they will be a no-go for most applications, the late 5.7 exhaust ports do match the 6.1 setup as expected, but the manifolds do stick out too far, especially on the left side of the engine:
I think one of the problems is that in the modern car application, the exhaust needs to come over the pot of both the starter motor and the steering shaft.
The right side is a little more promising as the manifold does tuck a little tighter to the engine:
The overall width of the engine with these manifolds is too wide to fit between my frame rails, pretty much as is the case with the factory SRT8 headers.
Back to the drawing board of maybe the Jeep manifolds.
