Why (in many/most cases) is it so difficult to get the exhaust manifolds mounted correctly on an engine? I mean you never really have much to work with except for a couple of little 'nubs' on the ports to line up with the block, and then if you don't get it 'exactly' right you're reglueing or worse. To get the angle just right so that the exhaust system will actually line up with the manifold once the engine is mounted is very tricky.
Does anyone have any tips for the mounting of exhaust manifolds? I've been building for years and have gotten better at this and sometimes get it just right , but it's still a real pain. The engine in question here is a '71 340 from a AMT '71 Duster kit.
Thanks, Smoogie
