428 Street Car Cast Iron Exhaust manifolds -

[mr bruce]

The one side is a stock FoMoCo part, the other is custom, don't know if they were custom cast or welded, hard to tell from the 1965 proof pictures I have. Unfortunatly the pictures I have are copywrited, and I am prohibited from posting them. I can have new exact manifolds cast, but I doubt folks are going to want to pay the price.

The only difference right to left is the right hand manifold is drilled and tapped for the choke heat riser, they have the same part number. I believe the apparently anodized part shown in the picture may be incorrect because the original heat riser fitting was steel. This is in relation to the cast log manifolds.
I did see a very early narrow hip car in 1966 that had a fabricated shorty tube header from Shelby American. I was told that they went to the log manifold to reduce costs on regular production street cars.
