ram horn exhaust manifold question? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found a set of ram horn exhaust manifolds local and was wondering if there was more then one type for Chevy Vechiles? I am working with a 67 C10 with a small block 350. If anyone has a very good picture also that would help to be sure I get the right parts since I am super tight on $ with a baby on the way. Thanks in advance guys!!!!!!

I think i have some pics on my build page if you want to take a look. I do know that you will have a tight bend right off the collector if you are using the corvette style like mine. If you need more pics let me know and I will try and take some this weekend for you.

yeah better picture would be helpful. I think these might be from a chevelle possible. I have some used cheapie headers and figured ram horns would be better route to go I think.

There are several variations in the Ramhorns. The 67-72 outlet points back about 45 degrees. The TF ones point straight down. Some have provisions for gen/alt brackets.

Best I can do. Original on my 69 C20. 2" outlets. The 2WDs had angled outlets. The 4WDs had outlets pointing straight down.

So do i need straight down or 45 degree in above post? I have a 350 SB moved back was a straight 6. Any help woud be great . Local guy has one straight and one 45 degree which sounds like a bust so still looking. Brandon

As stated above, originals (at least for 69-72 2WDs with a 350) were angled on both sides. I'm not sure of the 67s and 68s. I also can't say what you can run if your engine is not in the stock small block location.

I am pretty sure I could run the ram horns angled with my set up since I have a set of long tube headers there right now they just slightly hit frame a hair and think ram horns would clean it up a whole lot but seems like finding them on a tight budget and baby on the way might be impossilbe for me.
