Projects 1956 Ford 223 Manifold

Hey guys, I'm in the middle of a resto on my 56 Customline and just had a few questions. I really want to split the exhaust manifold on the original 223. I don't want to cut up the original manifold, so I was wondering if there are any companies that produce new split manifolds. I found some split manifolds for 223's in trucks, but would those have clearance issues in a sedan? Any help would be appreciated!

 

Anyone?

 

Can't help with the exhaust but check with the 52-59 Ford Group, the largest group for Fords on the HAMB. Maybe some pic of your car too.

 

Here is a guy that can probably give you some advice,click on this and send him a pm: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/album.php?albumid=43606

 

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

 

original 223 exhaust manifolds should be free. I gave away my 56 223 complete engine. get a used one and split it yourself.

 

Hate to tell you but the only stock 223 manifold I could find was $499 lol

 

I have a 56 Ford Customline and went to headers using an Offenhauser manifold and 6=8 headers. Had to do some major work on headers even though they said they would bolt on.

Have new set Fenton headers for 223. Can't figure out how to send PM.
Send me your phone # if interested.
