Exhaust manifold interchangeability.
I have a friend whose got a 84 f-250 351 2bbl, since he know nothing about automotive, I am here in his place.
The problems im/we're having is that his dad threw on a set of long tube headers, which 1) rub on the front driveshaft, and 2) the driver side header exits right in front of the t-case.
With the money he had to spare, after i got it running and tuned it up, we cobbled up some exhaust to replace the non-existant one.
I recently ran across a set of 351 manifolds off of a 78 pickup, will these work or will i have issues with firewall clearance or "Y" pipe design?
Thanks,
-Jeff

351w has 6 bolts holding each valve cover on. The 351m has 8 bolts holding each valve cover on.
Austrailian engine selection is totally different than the US. The 351c was never offered in a truck in the US, unless you call a Ranchero a truck.
