Yeah I was anticipating having do something with the distance from header to H pipe.

I have noticed no issues yet. I am planning on getting a plate made to rotate it 90 degrees so that I don't have to run the cables over the valve covers. Unlike the Clifford manifolds, the offy's you can't just unscrew and rotate them. I plan on getting Larry @ T6Performance to do my plate, but right now I am just driving it. Even though she isn't in a 60-66, I love it. I forgot where I was posting, so I hope I don't upset anyone by putting my modern square truck in with you great guys.
