For the life of me I cannot seem to find any good info on stock manifold fitment. I am building a 67 Camaro, LS1/T56, Stock subframe with power steering. I want the engine to appear as it came from GM with the LS motor....hence the stock manifolds. I have the stock Vette manifolds that came with the motor, but the drivers side hits the steering box. Pass side fits wonderful.

I have tried a set of truck manifolds, no luck. I am borrowing a set of 99 Camaro manifolds tomorrow for a fit check, but I really do not feel very lucky about it.

My other option is to cut the manifold up to make it fit and re-weld it. It is the stamped type manifold, not cast, so it should not be too terribly bad. I would like to use the Vette units as they have larger ports than anything else I have seen.

I would rather not have to use headers unless a last resort. They seem to always need massaging....

Thanks for any input,
Jim
