i did the same thing. The problem your gonna have is that the steering shaft will hit i think the #3 runner on the driver side header. I had to cut the runner and relocated so it would not hit the steering shaft. It was either that or modify the steering shaft. I would just jet coat the stock manafolds and run with that.
