what ebay manifolds?? I have been looking for a set with decent flanges/welds for my TT swap, I know it will require some modding but Im looking for a reasonable foundation to make it work... It was originally going in my 69 nova, but that thing is gone once the body work is done... I just love my GN too much to sell it, so Im thinking a TT 6.0L and a 4l80e... I have heard the truck manifolds dont clear some of the frame and I want to keep A/C... Anything that will fit in an Fbody or Vette should clear in my massive GN engine bay!

I love the stuff you're doing man, pleas keep it up! Remember Lots of pics!
