so I ended up going and getting an engine from a guy who told me it was a 302. this engine was to be put into a 97 ford ranger but after I got home I pulled the intake manifold and it's a 351w. this build is going to be 4wd and I have the stock 1983 exhaust manifolds and don't think they'll work so I need some suggestions here? any help is appreciated

no suggestions? would 289 cast manifolds be small enough until I can get custom headers made?

did you have to bend them back to clear the steering shaft? and do you think they would work for 4wd?
