I was thinking the same way, this small block I did mild with 9.5-1, Performer package and stock heads. I was leaning towards manifolds due to heat, leaks and side pipe issues with headers but I no longer have any manifolds on the scrap pile.
If the center dump Corvette's will not work I would assume I need any early rear dump (under plug) sbc (not 305) manifolds?
Thanks, Scott

They are not too hard to find at the pick and pull yards. They might be available brand new....some where One issue with used ones are the bolts that hold the pipes in place.I have pretty good luck removing the old ones then re taping/chasing the holes and putting new bolts back in place. I have a set off of a 77 350 that will be going on my 89 GMC.

Yep the studs will be the main concern.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Nice van by the way.
