6.1 swap using SRT grand cherokee manifolds
« on: August 29, 2013 - 12:54:22 AM »
So I have read a lot of post about this . Here Are some notes from my adventure
1:They don't fit on the Ebody. I m doing some customising and will do a follow up .
2; I have also tried the crate which are for a 2009 challenger. pass side fits but the torsion bar is in the way below it . :canada:

I have them in . I Ginded the flanges off. they fit . pass side close to the torsion bar. I am going add 3." of 3" pipe and weld the flange back on . Main problem is the drivers side. it WONT FIT WITH ANY FACTORY STERRING BOX I have tried both manual and power. I have takin the box out and looking at putting in a rack from unisteer. I WONT NEED Their PUMP. I will keep you posted and will add picks asap

Really recomend staying away from unisteeer. Steering connection is a real poor angle and the turning radius is like a 1970s club cab. Bite the bullet and get an Alterkations.

As far as grinding the flanges off the Jeep manifolds we did that then welded on some V clamps for more room and a cleaner look.

Seems to be cheaper to get TTI headers than having to redo your steering.
