Yup, Speed Engineering. Not sure what I’ll do with them at this point. I think I could re-flange it and get it to fit, just not sure what it would do to plug wire clearance. Steering shaft clearance pics below, plenty of space

The manifolds do fit well, but hard to beat the torque kick you get with long tubes

Oh, and I'm not sure about the dropmember, but the Doug Thorley Tri-Y headers for LS swaps fit great in my 71.
The DD setup does look like the right option, it’s just $350 I wasn’t planning on spending...

I’m also looking at other header options, the DTs are nice. Gonna chew on this for a bit
