ok,my dad gave me an old set of rams horns exhaust manifolds he had on an old corvette,they just need cleaned off and painted/coated..now,before i get too far into cleaning them,how much of a chance do you guys give for these things fitting and me havin any clearnace issues?rite now i'm runnin a 327 with a mustang II front end..i believe the terms for the manifolds i'm usin now are log style..i know you guys cant quite be 100% sure without takin em out and lookin,but it's kinda late rite now and i'm just kinda curious before i go out and have em blasted or anything..doesnt matter too much if they fit or not cuz i'm pretty sure i can sell em if they dont..anyone got any clue or concerns/questions?thanks

Should be able to grab a tape measure and come up with a pretty good idea if they will work or not. What size is the outlet, 2" or 2 1/2"?
