Ive come out of hiding for a parts source

I have been going no stop in the garage for months now and haven’t really had time to come on and check up, but I need a hand. I am working on a 60 thunderchicken with a 352 in her. I had to pull the motor to get the rounded off rusted to hell bolts out that hold on the exhaust manifolds. You just couldn’t get to them at all with the engine in place. So the engine was pulled the bolts were broken ,bolts were cut, holes were drilled, taps were broken, swear words were said but she is ready to go back in.

Here is the problem; one of the exhaust manifolds on the driver’s side is cracked. Its small and not that important but after all that work and meat and blood left on the engine block. I just don’t want to have to come back after it later.

Is there some one who repops the manifolds or even makes a header set for this car? I have been looking around but haven't come up with ****..

 

Mac`s antique auto parts has a parts catalog for 1960 thunderbirds.

 

i was told that POR 15 has a product to repair cracked manifolds.

 

Macs did have the manifold when i called.
I tried the por 15 stuff on my 50 buick manifold. It worked for a while. The paint that came with the kit was cool.

About 3 years ago i had the same @#$@ problem with a straight eight buick manifold what i a nightmare that turned out to be.

Maybe its time for some custom headers...
