Exhaust Manifold
I am putting a 2004 5.3 V8 in my 85 pick-up and I want to know if I am going to be able to use my stock exhaust manifolds. I have heard of people having problems on the right side. I am using the dirty dingo adjustable mounts. If anyone has used these mounts on this swap.

Re: Exhaust Manifold
The standard trucks style manifolds have a "bump" on them that usually hit the frame rail on most swaps. In some cases if you have a good amount of frame clearance, you can just grind back the bump to get it to fit, but I've rarely seen that be the solution. Most folks start looking at the tubular f-body manifolds, tbss manifolds, doug thorley's, or a handful of other header options that work.

Re: Exhaust Manifold
My right side doesn't fit. I went to Competition sales today and saw some headers I'm thinking about going with. There's a set of manifolds on Craigslist that look like tbss was going to meet him tomorrow but now I'm not sure. I'm useing the same towers as your year with dd adjustable mounts

Re: Exhaust Manifold
The early tubular f body manifolds fit some years, but i think the egr ports are actually what interferes with fitment.

Re: Exhaust Manifold
Thanks BR3W CITY, I saw a great deal on CL for manifolds and cats. Glad I asked. There are a couple of LS6 center dump manifolds for sale also, I am fairly certain they clear.

Re: Exhaust Manifold
I used 99 F-body manifolds and they have plenty of clearance, although I did have to use block off plates for the egr.

Re: Exhaust Manifold
Pretty sure I started with the 6cyl stands myself, I moved them forward to a new location and welded them in.
