I just noticed 2 cracks on my exhuast manifold. Must have just happened, cause there was no apparent noises until I fired it up tonight, it sounded very loud and noticable! If any of you guys know where I could find one or If you have an exhaust manifold that is in good working condition let me know or PM me! this is my daily driver. For a 53 Ford The motor is a 215 inline six. I have both catalogs and both of those don't carry the exhaust manifold for my motor. Thanks Brian (VEIN).
Here's where I get all the stuff I can't scare up myself: Owens Salvage Company – Flat-Top Bob is a long time H.A.M.B.er and has been a huge supporter of the HAMB for a number of years. His salvage yard is literally 65 acres of heaven. Call him up at 800-798-2581 and get 10% off all of your used parts. Good luck!
oh yeah! I forgot about him! thanks missydaddy1. Jeff I just called and left a message obviously there not open on sunday but im trying to get my car back on the road asap. I really appreciate all the help thank u guys. do you guys know if this manifold crack would do any damage to the valves? I hope when I get this all squared away that everything will go well. It seemed to be driving just fine lately hasn't ran hot and hasnt used any oil so Im hoping I can get this fixed quickly!
i have one thats already been blasted and coated with POR-15 cast manifold coating. I cut my clifford's all apart and am making those work right now so I don't need it. Let me know if you're interested. I'm looking for a few parts so if you have anything extra and want to do a trade, I'd be up for that too. Let me know.
Well heres an update. I decided to call Owens Salvage and he shipped one out to me. I just got it today. Hoping to have it installed by this weekend. thanks for all the quick responses.
That's great news! Don't forget to leave good feedback for Owens Salvage on the HAMB-O'Dex. If you are pleased with their service, let other HAMBers know about it!
