Landpimp help

[clemson55]

Ok so I just got an exhaust manifold in the mail today and it doesnt fit. Also had a 6-1 header which didnt fit. So I need to know what actually fits because I want to be able to drive my cruiser and I'm getting pissed. Heres a picture of the block and the header that was on it before which had the pipes cut off. So one of you guys who has excessive cruiser knowledge in your head like Landpimp please help me out here. Thanks

What motor is that? Maybe I'm missing something but that looks like a 4 cylinder something, just looking at the header........what am I missing from the pic?

 

[Ian Rogers]

this is a e-67 motor and no header will fit, you need the stock manifold

 

[Mace]

Old motor is right


66 the #2/3 and 4/5 cylinders both have the same exhaust port

 

[Ian Rogers]

that header you have is vary rare, i would put it back on or try to find a 'simiense'(SP?) port manifold, what year cruiser do you have? My 69' had the motor changed you by the po and now i have a 63' insteed of a 69. Oh well. I also talked to Mark at marksoffroad.com last week and he has a header for the e-67' motor you might want to call him 818.953.9230. do you have a pcv valve or do you have 2 slits in the top of the valve cover?

Yup, that's not an F155 motor fo' sho'.....F135 I suspect (never seen an F145). I haven't had my intake/headers off to say for sure from my own experience. But it looks like the same headers I have.

 

[Landpimp]

wish I could help, but I have no clue, I have never had a manifold off and never used a header.

sorry

[Poser]

Did you find a manifold?

 

[IDave]

I sent him one of mine, thinking his was an F155. Oops.

 

[clemson55]

Mark had an intake and exhaust that I bought sending him some money out tomorrow. Now I just have to wait another week and a half to get this thing running. I might just put the intake and old header on just so I can make it run even though the pipes are cut off to about 6 inches long.

 

[Ian Rogers]

be carfull runing with cut off pipes that a great way to burn exhaust valves

 

[clemson55]

I just want to run it for a couple min so it will finally be running. Not even gonna drive it anywhere.

 

[Poser]

Don't be in a hurry...

Mistakes, sometimes EXSPENSIVE ONES occur because of this...

Hey clemson55, do you have any more pictures of your 55? It seems like you've been doing a lot of work to it. I was wondering if you had any progress pics?

 

[66fj40x2]

Wow that's kind'a cool...not that you can't get parts (sorry)...but that a unique motor. Learn somthing new every day on here.

 

[clemson55]

Yeah actually I have about 2-300 pics on my computer. I was gonna do a post and show the whole evolution once I got it fully done and running. Wanted that final shot of it outside the garage. I have done a lot in the past month though posted about 100 times in that month mostly for help. Keep an eye out I'll do a big post before to long.

Yup. F135. F145s were made from 67-71. Look like the F155s except they had oil filler tubes on the passenger side like the F135s.

 

[IDave]

OH! Is that it? In that case, I have 2 F145s!

You need an early to '67 exhaust manifold. Make sure that the rings (#10) between the head and intake manifold are in there when you reinstall. Also, the exhaust studs (#2) at the very ends of the head are meant to be dowels flush with the outside of the manifold - so don't put nuts on the studs or bolts in the end holes (it seals fine as designed and I wouldn't risk cracking a manifold). With the headers the dogs (#7) have probably strayed, I've got extras if you need them. If you are truly desperate and want to pay crazy shipping rates for a loaner, PM me. Personally, if it looks like the header can be repaired I'd go that route first.
