340HP manifold driver side

[65Vart]

I just removed my 318 manifold from the driverside of my 71 swinger with power brakes. Wrestled it out around the master , booster etc but its out. No way this 340 mani wants to go in the same way. What do I do to make room? remove the master? booster? pull the steering column? whats the easiest way?

your kidding me right?

Nope. Its just like installing headers, from all the ones I've done. Quickest way is to unbolt the drivers side motormount, lift motor up a little and install. Remember to use sealant on the lasts because they go into the water jacket.

studs are intact front and back so the jackets are sealed. So still drop it in from the top with the motor up an inch or two?

If you lift the motor up a bit I don't see why it couldnt be installed from the top (i've just always installed them from the bottom.
