mismatch exhaust manifold
This might be a dumb question but I have been looking for exhaust manifold for my 49 truck. I found the left side from a 79 chevy pickup and the right side from a 87 pickup. Due to the tight compartment I could not use the same set. Does it matter if they are not a matching pair?

Unless this is a full time race application I doubt slightly different header lengths/configuration is going to make a noticeable difference in your performance. Most store-bought headers or exhaust manifolds do not have equa-length tubes...in fact, you'll pay an arm and a leg for equa-length matching tubes. And even the equal length headers I have seen often have a different configuration on the left than the right...in order to get around obstacles.
