Hogan manifolds did, I swear if I could have had a cast version I would have paid extra

I thought the 632 was a tall deck (10.2 inch) block? Even with that custom made manifold, how in the heck are you gonna get all that stuff to fit under the hood. The #3 spark plug and exhaust port barely clear the steering box for a regular 9.8 deck motor. No problems with heads hitting the upper control arm pivots?

I can hear your stub axles crying for mercy all the way over here.

BTW, that manifold is a fantastic piece of work. Good luck with the install.

It's a tall deck block, but it fits under my stinger-hood, from deck to hood I got about 10.5, actually there's "plenty" of room especially compared to the C3, I got a Tom's diff and axle kit, more worried about the six speed Richmond and the wheels spinning at high speed (is it possible to add on anti-spin?),anyway we'll see, live and learn

Roger that on the Richmond 6 speed. If it's in your budget, a Viper or ZR-1 spec T56 is a good substitute.

That's sweet! Can you give us any more details on the build? I got the compression, the heads etc. What size carbs? Cam,,,,solid roller? How big?

632's are neat motors. You have to work everything to try and feed them. We did one a couple of years ago for C-3 with conventional heads that turned out pretty similar. Love to see that bad boy with a *regular* intake and a Dominator or two!

Hogan's makes neat stuff for sure!
