No on the duals. Manifolds to a y-pipe to a single out.
A cam maybe? Shaved heads, port work, RRs? Is it the original 318, or did
someone stuff a 360 in place? Look at the vin tag on the radiator support,
and see if it matches the engine vin.
Do you need an 89 FSM? I have one. No info on the motor, but it'll be good
for the chassis.
