do both sides not clear? or just one?

my the chevelle i was able to use a LQ4 Manifold on the Passengers Side but had to use a LS1 F-Body Manifold on the Drivers Side.

there are alot of posts regarding manifolds/clearance, should be alot of options out there for you if you run a general search.

Some have used stock manifold but if your set up doesn't allow use I know c5 and c6 Corvette hug close. Another that some have used is a fbody set up.

I used sanderson block huggers in my CJ8, but check out 2010+ camaro manifolds, they look to be pretty good for the CJ.

LS3 manifolds might work for you if the motor is set high enough.
