Mechanical Linkage SM465 and LS Header/Manifold Choices?

[Richcz28]

I'm getting ready to swap out my 6.2 for a 4.8 engine.

I believe I have most of the details worked out except for the clearance of mechanical clutch linkage.

Can anyone speak from experience about the clearance of headers or manifolds around the mechanical linkage?

Thanks

Sorry no experience with the sm465 of mech clutch linkage but the CPP cast iron manifolds I have on the 5.3 in my 59 Apache are very compact and would probably work well for you. I can send you pictures if you want

Thanks Ryan, those are definitely on my list to consider. I’ve seen a lot of pictures of them.
