exhaust manifolds

[bigdawg]

i put a 350 from a 97 suburban in my t type and the exhaust manifolds from the truck hit the bracket from my steering column to my transmission shifter, do i need the bracket and what should i do? i dont like headers so if i gotta get something else what manifolds should i look for at junk yard

Just grab a set of manifolds from a GM car with a 305/350 engine :idea:

which would be best for vortec heads and fit a g body though, and i want to avoid a crossover pipe like i think monte carlos had on 305's

and i figured out the point to that bracket, it lets you to the key in park to start car and to pull your key out so im pretty sure i need it

Exhaust manifolds will bolt up the same to your vortec heads.

What if you just get a set of g-body manifolds, and drill out the crossover and put in a pipe plug? Or somethign like that? Also did ALL g-body's have the exhaust manifold crossover? I dont remember my 83 Monte having one, or my 84 Cutlass.

I have a set with the late model exhaust port bolt pattern of that 97 in my shop. Still have the air tubes. Were on my buick for a while

 

[bigdawg]

willing to let them go?

well problems fixed but have another quick question, went to the junkyard for the manifold and got lucky and found the power steering pump and brackets

heres the stock vortec manifolds, had problem with the bottom one (drivers side)

this is the one i got at the junkyard

question is can i use the passanger vortec one since it fits and the passanger one from the truck i got the manifold from was falling apart rusty and the one i needed looks new

oh yea and it fits like it was ment for the car

they look exactly the same and the opening is the same size that turns into your exhaust so i dont see why not but i simply bolt and unbolt things and when it comes to the laws of physics and science im clueless lol and i dont wanna make one side of the motor work harder and throw it off balance or something.
