Hey all! looking for a set of of either stock manifolds or some nature of header for my 350, not many cheap options up here in alberta. Local guy said he has some sanderson headers, center dump. Looked em up and pretty clear there is just about no way these clear the cross member, let alone the engine mount. chassis is a 1966 for reference.
So to the olds gurus, can these be made to work, or are these plain and simple a no go?
If these dont clear engine mounts and cross members, how exactly do these work on an olds???

Side note. looking at some cheap *** flow techs. Worth the trouble? had a set on my 94 pickup without too much trouble and need some nature of exhaust asap.

 

Sounds like the center-dump manifolds were designed for engine swap applications (into a T-bucket street rod for example). You'll need the rear dump factory type manifolds to avoid cross member interference in an A- or B-body chassis. Have you looked at shorties?

 

They won't clear. I had a set on my 94 Z71 with an Olds 350. Even with the the front 403 Trans Am motor mounts, it was too tight to route exhaust properly around the front differential. They won't work with center motor mounts for sure.

 

Yes, cheap Flowtechs are worth it!
