Is everything simply 'pressed' in?
I have an urging need to split the exhaust manifold and that darn thing is in the way...
Please advise?
thanks

I just had this done on my 235 by Kansas Kustoms. He leaves the entire heat riser intact-you don't have to mess with it at all. | | |

Maybe whizzer is just going to take his apart and "rebuild" it!

What are you using for the front outlet pc? Did you find a donor that you can grind to mate up to the manifold or are you going to cast an outlet? Either way I'd like to know as I intend to split mine as well. Thanks.

[/QB] I plan on MIG welding a length of thick-wall STEEL tubing and a fabricated flange. YES, it CAN be done! Check out this interesting post on the HAMB: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11972 I figure that for 185$, I can buy quite a bit of tubing, MIG wire and steel plate? It's a learning experience...  | | |
