Exhaust Mainfolds

Hey guys Need to know if anyone out there has a 53 to 56 F-100 with a Mopar 383 or 440 engine in it. I put a 383 in my 56 and having trouble finding Exhaust Manifolds. With the Volare Suspention the steering box is in the way Si I need manifolds that dump out the back of the engine & not the side. Any Ideas? Headers would work if I knew which one to get.
By the way I took care of the rear end problem. Used a 1974 Imperial w/disc. Cut 3 inches from each side & sent the axles to Mouser. Cut & respline $95. Thanks for all the input on that problem.
One more think I have pics of all the work I've done but I have to figure out how to put pics in this forum. Never said I was computer smart hahahaha.

Poolpro,

You might want to try posting your primary question - " I need manifolds that dump out the back of the engine" - in either -

Moparstyle.net

or

www.rodder.com

They are both a group of forums similar to FTE but obviously one caters to Mopars and the other to hot/street rods in general.

Later,

I may be wrong but I think mid 70's 4X4 truck manifolds could be what you want. Its been years since I had one.

My bad. I haven't seen anything that would work, so you might have to have a custom made pair done. Goodluck, -4speed
