I emailed my info to you a couple days ago and don't know if you received it.Will the cast iron exh manifold from a 54-56 fairlane 312 Y-block fit my motor without clearance issues? The tru rams are repops I dont recall seeing any casing or ID number on them at all so I would be pretty sure they are original I suspect that since mine have a Ford casting number they are original, but you never know. I was wondering if there is a way to tell the tru Ram exhaust manifolds from the Ford ones just so I could be certain about the ones I have. Sorry Gekko13, my question wasn't that clear. I guessing on the 30 part its hard to read.įWIW, -9430- indicates "passenger" (right) side exhaust manifold. The one I have has the cast number C2TE-9430-B. They are probably not as deep quality as the ones from Mummert, but they were 60% off due to cosmetic issues and a discount promo. I don't know what is meant by Tru Rams Horn unless it is supposed to be Truck Rams horn, which is what it is. I can check on the cost of shipping on Monday if your are interested. Unfortunately it looks like the backwards rightside pass car manifold will not work very well because it is going to dump right through the PS pump.įabieber, I have an orphan Rams Horn if you want it. I mounted the reservoir on the radiator support. With about 3 washers the pullies lined up perfect. The brackets are stock Ford but there was some surgery on the steel part to make it work. The hoses are also stock Toy which I was able to use without modification. This pic shows a Toyota PS setup with the Toyota reservoir and pump. I am sure there are better exhausts for performance, but the ram horns with just some plain Jane cherry bombs make a great sound and really keep the old school look. I laid everything out with wire coat hangers prior to getting too far in it. Pretty much you could run in any angle and take it where you want to. The tight tuck of the ram horns leave lots of room for maneuvering. I also have an ifs with new steering shaft, but was able to home bend some pipe to make pipes through the compartment. They had some cosmetic dings but I was planning on wrapping them anyway. I have a 63 F100 I wandered into a cheap pair of the tru rams for the y block on speedway motors garage sale. I have to think if the T-Bird manifolds would fit you would have seen then used on those trucks.Īlso, the left hand T-Bird manifolds sell for around $175-225 so no cheap fix anyway. T-Bird manifold ( ECJ) might clear the steering box but will probably get very close to the firewall. This moves the steering box farther from the engine. Passenger car manifolds will fit on the later trucks, 1961-64 because the frame is wider. Here is a link to the portion just for our year trucks, Oh, and FTE is ford truck enthusiast, if you have a old f100 those guys are a great resource also. I also have the added cost of wanting to keep my 3 on the tree, cost and engineering. I like hearing that there is a way to get the pump on without moving the exhaust all around. Driver side was quite near the fuel pump, no problems with it even in hottest summer days. So that the passenger side went down on rear and driver side went down on front. I had in my 62 F100 two passenger side car exhaust manifolds. However my 56 has the cross over pipe and the Toyoda conversion including saginaw pump from a Jag. and yes that is the spelling cast into the steering box! Most people on this site would steer you in the direction of dual exhausts as a way of waking up the motor. Really going to show my ignorance in areas other than mechanical but I don't know the meaning of FTE I believe I saw a guy on FTE forum with the cross over and the power steering but when I was trying to figure mine out I could not figure out a way without getting rid of it and thus I too have to wait till I have more funds for all of the little things like this that pop up trying to do a whole different project. I am trying to add power steering via the Toyota box and have to remove the crossover pipe to make room for the power steering pump (don't I?). I have concluded that some of the manifolds from the 312 (specifically Thunderbird) will actually clear the steering box and I would like to know if anyone has actually done this or is there a better option for dual exhausts. I can't find an affordable pair of ramhorns for my truck. By fabieber Original '55 F100 - 12 Years Ago
