Location

My engine rebuild is currently held up because the "floating" ends of my exhaust manifold are frozen. Need one in decent shape. I know they changed a little bit over the years and I'm not positive of the upper cut off date that will still work but it's probably 1979.

Think I have one off my 12/79 40, can look when I get home.

Ideally, you should be considering a matched intake/exhaust set, as the manifolds were machined as a pair, so you will have less alignment issues.

And if you're not running smog, it won't matter if you get a pair pre or post 1/79 (EGR moved from the center section to the rear section.

I have a non-smog Saudi pair available if you're interested.

Edit: I pulled the Saudi manifold set off the shelf to grab a pick, but…the ears are frozen on it too. Maybe when I have some time I will try to budge them with a flame wrench.

When I have time.

Thanks Mark. I appreciate the advice. We were going to get the flanges machined as a set regardless but it might be much easier if they are close to start with.

Greg, if you’re still looking, I found this pair by accident a few minutes ago while cleaning. Cleaning up is what I HAVE to do when I can’t find something!

Flapper moves smoothly. Looks to have a fresh thermo spring. In fact, it seems to have been serviced, as the exhaust is SO clean. Unfortunately, I do not know the provenance; I bought it as you see it, along with some other engine parts of various years, in 2017.

Forward ear moves easily; rear responds to taps with a hammer, but does not move by hand

Thanks Mark. Can you send me a DM with a price please? I'm not able to phone right now but can tomorrow if you are in the shop.

Nada. Have intake but cant find the exhaust manifold. Either sold it or scrapped it, even though I dont recall doing either.

No worries. I got a matched set yesterday. Need to close this thread.
