Instead of getting something you don't really want, just use some stock manifolds for the Nationals and then get what you want when you have the time, Trev

I was speaking to Mick ( ratbox ) a while back and I think ( hope I recall the conversation correct ) he said that he able to was use the standard 253/308 cast iron manifolds in one of his Ratbox V8 Conversions Pty Ltd projects in an EK ??.

Shane, are you able to lift the engine mounts a bit higher to enable them to allow clearance for the shaft?

Suppose you've probably already thought of that though..............

Just a thought................
