So where are you with all this......
Did you use a civilian truck frame that your shortened or are ALL F8 shorten civilian frames????
Do you have a GOOD RH exhaust manifold the issue is that it will not fit due to your engine being a 50s issue???
Are you searching for "proof" that a special manifold did exist via MLU members with a F8 available for a photo.....?
David Moore had a F8 Ford and ran a V8...... since been sold but must be around Kingston somewhere and should be available for eyeballing...
Can you grind a section of your existing manifold and weld a flat with a plate to get by???
Bottom line F8 did have V8..... what did they use to circumvent the issue.....
Can play with the front engine mount to tilt the engine for a few mm of clearance.......
If you need a spare RH manifold I have a free one.......
Can you use a C8 frame..... I have a spare too......
Interesting dilemma!!!!
