I have room in the manifold to get a pretty good match. The ports in the head are not quite as big as the gasket and somewhere I have a gasket with a divider between the center ports like the head and the manifold have. Any welding will be to the flanges to get the mounting tabs to work right. One option, the most involved would be to cut the flanges from an inline manifold and weld or braze them to the header. I don't think I'll have to go that far. I mounted an alternator to check clearance and it was fine. I think the generator will be fine too. The header is close to the block so the pipes will be inside the frame rails and under the car.
