Exhaust manifolds

[CABBOTT]

Hey guys, been a little while since I've posted, hunting season is here so that takes a lot of my time I'm not sure if any of you ran into the same problem but while converting my clutch to hydraulic I found that my headers are too close to my bell housing to mount my slave cylinder so I have two questions 1) has anyone found a solution to get around this without replacing the headers, and 2) if not does anyone have a set of stock manifolds for a AMC 304 that has the exhaust dump in the middle? I don't have much more left to do on the jeep before its drivable but this is holding me up something fierce.

if you don't hear from anyone on here,check ebay..there is a guy in Maine,Rhode Island or somewhere in that general area that I have bought a few cj parts from on ebay.I think he parts out a good many..another option might be the shorty headers but I like manifolds better myself

Haha funny you should mention that, he had a set on eBay but sold before I could get ahold of them, I contacted him and he is out of town till the 22nd. And for anyone interested he has started a website CJ5 .com with a bunch of stuff

I assume you are using a "Push" type Slave cylinder mounted to the Bell Housing?
They also make "Pull" slaves that mount off your Transmission to the rear of the clutch fork.........Speedway has a few so does Jegs & Summit. ...........same principle just from the opposite side!

Thanks Tarry, I wish I had known about that before I bought this one. I guess if all else fails ill try that route
