Truck is an 88. I used 62-65 B Body manifolds in to duals. I tried cheapo manzo shorties, but had to beat them pretty well only to have the collector dump onto the dipstick.
I grabbed them from my uncle for 500. Rims tires and tubs. Couldn’t pass em up as the tires are 458$ each. Doing the back half isn’t going to happen for quite some time. If it ever does at all. Although I would like to move the springs inward to get 50 series in there. There is a whole lot of space where that spring mount lives between the leaf and frame. That way, if I ever did cut the frame, my mounts and all of that fun stuff, less the perches, will be where I want them.
The carb is off of my 318. That is a 77 400 bored .030 over with comp cams xe258h cam/gears/springs/lifter kit. .030 whacked off the heads and steel shim gaskets. I think the manifolds were off of a 426 wedge. I had them on my 440 when it was in there, tried to go with shorties but couldnt fit.I would get rid of those 273 manifolds and find a 360 truck or van manifold, 85, to 91 I believe.. much bigger then those iddy bitty 273 sir , love the build sir
Oop's , I am sorry, looks like I was still waiting on my first cup of coffee and thought I seen a small block in your truck.. my bad sir
Thank you! I found one at the local u pull it, limited slip 3:73. Going to try and wait until Saturday when they run their big sale. 50$ all you can carry
