In the correct V8 position there is plenty of room for 2 1/2" straight dump rams horn manifolds even with manual clutch linkage and by tucking the exhaust thru thr rear cross member cleans up the bottom of the truck along with a rear mounted fuel tank to help with weight distribution .

the wheel base of a 67 short bed and a 67 Chevelle are both 115" and the weight for both is in the 33-3400 lb range giving a drop on the truck and other mods they should be very close performance wise .
