It's just the opposite. The drivers side is different, passenger side the same.

Carl - The driver side manifold for the T-bird is an "ECJ" part number. Its located on the manifold face toward the cylinder head - unlike all of the others. It has the same passage sizes as the '57 passenger car parts (flat top casting shape too) - but the outlet kicks in a bit more toward the block to clear the clutch linkage of the stick cars. It was used on both the stick and automatic T-birds. Finding them is usually accidental ....... when you really need one, hard to come by or very expensive.

Thanks Steve,There is a guy in my area hunting for drivers side exhaust manifold and I have one for a car,i thought the passenger side was different so that is why I posted the question.Glad I didn't sell him what I had.
