Robey,
You have found the best resource in the world, this list. But there are
others which I am sure others will tell you about. Dropping the exhaust
manifold can be done with the engine in place, but the intake manifold &
carbs will have to come off first. Not really a big deal. Your stock
exhaust manifold is likely toast, and you will find it much cheaper to
replace it with a header than the stock part (at least that is what I found).
If you decide to go that route, however, you must replace the long 1600
starter that you probably have, with the shorter/fatter 2000 starter, which
bolts up just fine. Welcome to the list, and let us know how it goes!
