    Hi I would like to hear from those who have successfully fitted an FE engine with exhaust manifolds into a 55 or 56. A manifold that clears the steering box. Oh, the heads are 1976 390's, nothing rare or high performance. Photos and or part #'s or model and year would be very helpful. Thank you

    I put a 390 in a 56 years ago. The car had power steering & the motor was a 67 Merc. The ex. manifolds cleared the steering box & the oil pan had no clearance problems. Was a pretty easy swap.
