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.

a tall valve cover will hit on the passengers side

this was pieces / parts for a rat rod- car hauler build, later went to a cummins/5 speed




on a 68 satellite the master cylinder had to be moved (toward the outside) 2 "

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

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
