Suspension wise it looks fine, the challenge for the manifolds is clearance to the body and the chassis. The previous owner made new engine mounts but the engine was sitting so far back that there was no room to get the manifolds on. I need to pull the block forward, and perhaps lower, and somehow avoid a clash between the pump/bottom hose and the column. I have a pair of rams-horn manifolds and a tubular pair, I'm not sure either will fit and I expect I will need to get something custom made.
