Ok... Here is the situation. Got a 67 coup with a completely fried 351 in it. Here is what I have done. Put in a 302 and had the orig top-loader manual transmission rebuilt. Got everything back in the car and was pretty happy. One problem. There was no spot on the engine for the manual clutch Z-arm to mount to. Turns out the engine that was ordered was the one for an auto transmission. (Re-seller screwed up). Spoke with the engine folks and the only difference is one has the spot for the Z-arm and one doesn't. I found an engine side clutch equalizer bracket from CJPonyparts.com and it fit perfectly. Problem. Exhaust manifold won't fit because of the bracket. Headers won't work either. I am at a loss. I already paid to have the top-loader transmission rebuilt. Don't want to upgrade now. Any suggestions?

 

Call around to speed shops and Muffler shops and find someone that makes custom headers. They can make it fit, even if it looks strange.
Good luck[sm=smiley20.gif]
