They won't work don't bother.
I figured, thanks for the confirmation...I'm assuming its due to the size/placement of the ATX?

Even though he used the stock manifolds? I would think there is a chance.

I haven't looked at the ATX but I'm guessing the crossover/up-pipe would conflict with the transmission.
Someone have a picture of the ATX with the battery box removed?

It's not 4000% of the cars value, just because you paid $1 for a car doesn't mean thats all its worth.
And as always, power isn't cheap. If you are asking for another 100+ to the wheels, thats a lot of power to be added. aka a lot of money.
