Yes. Might have clearance problems in a later car, though.

Sure can,my oldest brother used to do it on his 64 Fury back in the day. It was just a 383, but the MW exhaust system was way better than the factory log manifolds.

Yes, you can. He's obviously not building a stock setup so that opens up many options.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

They are cool for the Max Wedge look but they are heavy and hold heat longer then headers. I was going to use them but decided it was easier to just use headers and the headers make a bit more power. Ron
