Time for an update. I installed these today. Took about 4 hours with a lunch break and a beer break. Will be taking the truck in later this week for the rest of the exhaust fab/install.
I ordered these ones:
Fit was great. There was a little protrusion on the bellhousing of my 80E that needed to be ground down a bit. Lots of clearance for the O2 sensors and good space from the front driveshaft.
Primaries are 1 5/8" i.d., collectors are 3". Very nice headers. Sounds pretty mean dumped right out the collectors for now...
Here's the old pass side manifold. Think this could be the cause of my exhaust leak??? It's broken clean all around. Just the flange holding it together!
