Manafolds

Ok guys. i need some help. We've tried two different sets of manifolds on the 400. each time the passenger side manafold hits the spring. are their any that hugs the block like a 429's drivers side?

 

What car are we putting these in?

 

the maverick. its got the four hundred in it. currently its hitting on the passenger spring. 429 and 400 manifolds

 

Shave the towers or fab up some headers.

 

Sounds like the towers are already cut out, if he's hitting the springs. All I can suggest is moving the spring mounts out a bit, or yeah, better, fab up some headers.

 

Or use a smaller diameter spring. Have fun seating em on the arms though...

 

Maybe a set of small diameter coil overs?

 

we're gonna try flipping another drivers side 429 manifold over and bring it forward and down then back. will keep posted

 

Sounds to me like you should have done a mustang II conversion before trying to fit a 400 somewhere it was never designed to fit. They don't even fit between the towers on a 67-70 Mustang (and they were designed to accomodate a big block) I want to know how you're going to bolt a 429 manifold to a 400 head.

 

i do believe your catching my lack of sleep. how bout we retry all that but with a 427
