yet another exhaust manifold query

Okay, I'm in the process of getting a rebuilt and beautiful 360 prepped for installation into my '65 Barracuda.

The exhaust question needs to be answered. I'm going to need a set of manifolds and I'm open to suggestion whether to use (and refurbish) an old set or acquire new set. I have the newer style reduction gear starter, and that opens things up a bit. But I also have power steering and I don't want to ditch it. It seems as though every trick I see (Dakota manifolds, headers, coveted-yet-overpriced 68-70 340 manifolds) won't work with the power steering box in the way.

Surely I'm not the only early-A owner with power steering and newer LA motor. How have others solved this?

I have headers on my race only '65 Dart. They would be a pain to use on the street, and forget power steering. Have you given any thought to using stock manifolds and having them ported by sending them to "Extrude Hone"? It may work out for your purposed on the 360.
