Will manifolds off a 69 work on a 67 without interfering with anything ?


Thanks , Rick

Rick,
Hope this helps, Its right out of Ground Ups catalog. Check out their site. Looks like there the same from 64-72 I do seem to remember there is a difference between truck and car manifolds.

Rick, the ex manifolds will interchange from chevelle to chevelle, as mentioned. The full size car (left), manifold is different than chevelle. Truck are also different. There are casting changes through the years, and some will be drilled for A.I.R. pump.
You will also need to change your motor mount perches or motor mounts for that SB to BB swap.

I really don't know but when I had the wrong manifolds on my 69, (I think they were from a BB 67 Caprice) I had to cut the left side header pipe and change the angle of it.

Not true. You can use your original small block frame stands, as long as you use the corresponding small block motor mounts. For added strength, I used the Energy Suspension mounts, along with my original small block stands.

To answer the original question, 69 BB Chevelle exhaust manifolds will work just fine on a 67 Chevelle.

Agreed. The driver or left side manifold will be the problem. Any auto (non truck) passenger side manifold will fit without modification.

Absolutely true.
