Mini truck? I don't know what guys like to use if it is a mini truck... I know the majority of guys putting sbc's in Landcruisers use the Ram horn stlye oem mainifolds...

I had a sb 307 in my 80 yota pu back in the day, and I had to use stock manifolds. May have to do a custom set?? My biggest problem was keepin it cool. There wasn't hardly any room between the radiator and the water pump bolts. If only I knew then what I know now. Brings back memories of searching junkyards for center sections to replace the ones I sheared the teeth off of. It was a beast though.

This....
Easiest way. Put the motor in and build the headers to fit. Will save you money in the long run. No buying of headers to only find out they dont fit and have to send them back to get another set and find out they dont fit either....:)
