OK, I asked this question over on Pirate4x4--got a little info, not every thing I wanted (I'm greedy!). I have a SBC 350 in my '88 XJ, currently with stock '95 truck exhaust manifolds. Used them because local SMOG people wouldn't pass my installation without them. Using them required me to cut out my UCA mounts, and they are in the way of doing a decent 3 or 4-link long arm set up; so I'm looking to change to manifolds that will solve these clearance issues. It seam the center dump ram horns would be the ticket. I know at least one NAXJ guy (Steagall9301) used them, and one guy at Pirate on a '79 SBC install' my engine is a '95. I'd appreciate a little more info from ram horn users, such as: Will '70s ram horns fit '95 heads?
Can the oil dipstick on the '90s engine be changed to clear the manifolds easily; IE, factory parts?
Any clearance issues noted with install; IE, UCA's, drive shaft, frame?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
