I had a set on a 66 I used to have. They worked fine, just had the exhaust shop make head pipes to clear everything.

Re: Anyone runnin 2 1/2" ram horn exhaust manifolds?

My 'burb has them on it; PO installed. They fit and I have the 700r4 also. There are no clearance issues anywhere that I can think of at the moment. I even rewired my starter solenoid from the hood side!

Re: Anyone runnin 2 1/2" ram horn exhaust manifolds?

Here's the 283 with my exhaust - are these what you're talking about? This motor's from a 65' Chevelle - going in a 65' C-10 and according to all the measurements I've made this intallation looks like a breeze.

Re: Anyone runnin 2 1/2" ram horn exhaust manifolds?

I had to ditch the original exhaust manifolds for two reasons: first they were smog busters and had the air injectors in them and second the passenger side manifold exited into the firewall.

Re: Anyone runnin 2 1/2" ram horn exhaust manifolds?

I think those are cast in China.

If I was buying aftermarket, I'd get these. They just look so much better.

Hey Rogue, if they're cast in China they're probably a crushed up American car anyway!
