I got the motor in and bolted up and the z-bar linned up perfectly and so did the motor mounts. The only problem so far is the drivers manifold, it is the stock v8 ram horn manifold and it angles back, I am guessing it needs to be a straight down outlet? Anyone know what the application is of the straight down manifold, would it be for a 4x4? I am hoping to find it tomorrow at the local parts houses. Any info & part numbers would be greatly appreciated, trying to get it back on the road this Friday.
