77 ford with air. which manifold

[dsldoug]

I am in the process of building a truck, and I want to use factory air. I am looking for the part # or applaction for an exhaust manifold. To use the factory hx 35 turbo and retain the air conditioning box.

I have heard the manifold from the 3rd gen common rail engine sit the tirbo lower than the manifold on the 12V. I just heard it in passing not sure if it is correct though.



Sweet project, by buddy is doing a 73 highboy conversion with a 99 24V.



Good luck!

I was told that you can flip the 12 valve exhaust manifold upside down and it will clear.

thanks JCrockett and Scot But I found a top mount from a Case loader and turned it over. It fits perfectly.
