NOTE THAT THE STOCK NUETRAL SAFETY SWITCH HAS BEEN RETAINED! THIS INSTALL WAS DONE WITH THE CAR ON JACK STANDS AND THE ENGINE IN THE CAR. THE INSTALL WAS DONE ON 06/30/2010	THE PICTURES BELOW ARE OF A 1956 MERCURY WITH A 390 FORD F.E. ENGINE WITH COBRA JET HEADS.

390 WITH COBRA JET HEADS-EXHAUST MANIFOLDS DO NOT WORK SINCE THE OWNER WANTED TO KEEP THESE HEADS I PULLED THEM AND DRILLED AND TAPPED THE HEADS FOR THE OLD STYLE EXHAUST BOLT PATTERN.	I PAINTED THE EXHAUST RED SO YOU COULD SEE IT BETTER IN THE PICTURE. THIS MANIFOLD IS FROM FORD AND MERC FULL SIZE CARS FROM 60-64 AND SOME TRUCKS INTO THE 70'S. AS YOU CAN SEE THIS MANIFOLD HAS A LOT OF CLEARENCE FROM THE STEERING SHAFT.
