If you got a good pipe bender dude, you may get the vet ones to work, they dump straight down unlike the ones for the trucks which dump at an angle. I tried a set and they wouldnt work on my 71.

They do dump straight down but if you put the small block in the "rear position" that clears the crossmember for a straighter shot--the 4X4 ram's horns also come with straight dumps using that position for the engine (dunno the logic) but the Corvette's flow better.

Nice tip on the back motor mount spot to get the straight shot ram horns to clear..
but does this kill the use of an HEI in these trucks putting the SBC in that spot?

Since this is an exhaust manifold thread I have a question about my original ram horns from my 72 Super. They are from a stock 350. I am including pictures of something I noticed after I got them off. I guess there was an oil leak and the manifold was cooking it off. Would y'all re-use these? Do they look okay?
Also, I am using a 350 crate motor for 80 to 85. Would these manifolds fit on it?
