Default Holley 8501HKR exhaust manifolds in a first gen?
Anyone running the Holley / Hooker 8501HKR manifolds in a first gen F body? Please post what motor mount setup you are using, and any pics / experiences. Thanks.

I can confirm through hands on test fitting that they will not install in that application due to interference with the steering box.

Thank you! What motor mounts were used during test fitting? Or was the interference so bad that it wouldn't have mattered?

The Hooker 12618HKR 1st-gen mount set-up was used, but they will have the same interference with the steering box no matter what mounts you use.

I can't say as I've never tried to fit them on that application.
