That looks like an Incon manifold, os it was facing backwards. The truck manifolds are faced forward.

They were custom cast manifold for that kit, not an OE manifold flipped around.

[QUOTE=y2khawk]Yep, Burns double slip merge collectors. Worth every penny IMHO 
Plug changes are very easy actually, from underneith All the plumbing goes up, easy plug access from below.
That's great, does it afftect the oil fill tube?

Making your own headers isn't that bad, as long as you take your time! Well...a good welding machine, good tools, and some know-how help too 
This is the first set of turbo headers I have built...me and another guy in the shop fabbed them up for my T-88 Lt1 car.
