Lots of conflicting info on this online. From what I can gather these can be fit on the 350tbi in my truck as long as one of the motor mounts is cut down a bit. My question is what about the accessory brackets on my motor? Will running the rams horns mean I have to get new accessory brackets or will I be able to make things work with what I’ve already got? My truck has A/C and power steering on the drivers side and alternator on the passenger side. There’s at least one or two bolts for the stock exhaust manifolds that are also used for the accessory brackets. I should also say that the exact manifolds I’m considering are the Jegs 30120 manifolds though I’d love a pair of factory 2 1/2” outlet originals, without the godawful heat riser on the outlet on one side. Can you run 2 left side manifolds? Run a left hand side manifold on the right if they’re center-dump? I definitely don’t need the accessory bracket that hangs off a lot of the factory rams horn manifolds.

Factory center dump 1985 350 exhaust manifolds. Note the 1960s style power steering pump and starter? Or the 1955-? 265/283 front mount? Again, factory installed 1985 parts…

Do you “really” want to backdate your truck “that” far? Just curious… This is the donor 350 for my wife’s 85 C10 swb to get rid of the stock 4.3L V6. It is still in the parts roach (C60) for a reason…
