Hello I have put a set of dual exhaust on my f100
192 however after putting the engine back in I see that there is not a lot of clearance with the clutch shift mechanism. Has anyone tried this or is there a lot of stuff that has to be moved. These are the standard dual exhaust exiting out the back not the rams horns. Any thoughts or ideas would
Be appreciated
Cause I really don't want
To have to go back to the crossover design.

Since this is a custom installation I reckon you could have a down pipe made up to clear? I have seen a Y powered Ford pickup with that manifold set up and that was what he had done.

You dont say what manifolds you used. Trucks need the rams horns!

I put the manifolds that came I ff a thunderbird. It's the style where it'd it out the back. The issue I see it the cluch linkage seems to be in the way is there a way of making a down pipe where the flange will clear? Right now I couldn't even grease the linkage cause the manifold is In the way. Thoughts?

There is a way to accomplish anything.  The question is will it be more cost effective to make what you have work or to get a set of ramshorns.

We don't know which F100 you have.  I do know that it has been done on the '61-'64 series.  They couldn't use bends because a radius which is tight enough was not available so they just welded angle cut pieces of straight pipe together in a way that it cleared everything.  Far from ideal but it got dual exhaust installed.  There were no pictures or anyhing, just something an owner of one of those trucks did one time.  I also think he used passenger car manifolds, rather than T-bird manifolds, if there is a difference.

dual ex. some time ago i did a 1956mercurey used a pasenger side manifold on driver side,blocking of the crosover hole and was able to use a pre formed u and custom pipe to clear  things. it was not entirely  a thing of buty but the budget had run out. sold the truck so unable to show a picture,saw the truck this summer and it is still the same,as well as the converted ign useing dura spark has had no isues ,after 10 years

you can probably get enough money out of a purist for the TBird manifolds to buy you a set of Rams horns, otherwise I think Patriot headers for the trucks are only around $169.00 or somewhere under 200.

My truck is a 63. I am not sure if they are thunderbird manifold or not I bought them
Off a guy that had a stockpile
Of them. How would you know if they are thunderbird manifolds verses a mercury or some other car?

hope this helps
