I'm reaching out for any insight TDP members can provide to help me select the correct crossover pipe kit for my sidewinder install. I thought all early truck crossovers were the same, but nope, there's differences.
I ordered the Sidewinder kit 21002 for early 6.2 trucks for my Jeep swap. I was surprised to find I didn't receive the crossover pipes. Banks Customer Service told me that since I bought the non-vehicle specific kit they leave out the crossovers (found out 3-4 years after I bought it!). There aren't any good images of these kits to tell which one I need.
The kit 21002 is for the early trucks, 82-91. They have kits for:
2 door 2WD LD # 21051 (out of stock)
2 door 4WD HD # 21053
2/4 door 2WD HD # 21050
2/4 door 4WD HD # 21052
I'm starting with a HD 599 block out of StepVan.
I don't have a crossmember to deal with like the one pictured here:

I'm using a stock LH side manifold, looks like this:

It'll connect to the included new RH side manifold pictured here (lower one):

I guess I'm looking for the crossover that hugs the block close along the side and front.
Thoughts?
