another possiblilty is the '99-up 4.0 iron split exhaust.  so far as
i've heard the bolts are all in the right places, but the #0331 head
they go with has the smallest ports of any amc six head and i'm
concerned the manifold ports would be tiny too.

but they'd be tough and durable, and you can fab the y-pipe - or duals
- to get around anything you have to.
