BJ 42 cracked manifold (1 Viewer)

Looking for a new exhaust manifold. How easy to find a replacement? Should I go turbo now?

Extractors are readily available for the 3B.. no turbo please

Found a used manifold. Why you say no turbo?

I'm just a purist when it comes to B & H diesels.. but seriously, some people have a great outcome, others end up chasing heat issues and the engine dies a premature death.. These engines are superb at what they were designed to do, they dont do it fast but they do it so reliably when well maintained and not turboed.

Turbo it. It won’t hurt anything unless you’re trying to keep up with the guy rolling coal in the duramax with stacks in the bed.

I'll look at turbo later. Just need it registered first. So old manifold for now.
