Went to install by blockplate between the block and the AOD and the plate will not go on due to the header on the right side where the starter would mount. I originally had a 4 speed. Is there a difference between Auto. and manual trans. headers? I did not install these headers, they came with the car. It looks like I will need to change exhaust for the AOD install? Can anyone help?

The AOD is a WIDE trans... you may have to switch to shorties (That is what I have on my car) but I have heard of a few models that will work with the AOD

I decided to go with hi-po manifolds instead. They seem to fit good.
