BOBWhite Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Still got a few decades before I have to worry about anything like that.

Old cast iron manifold cracked into a million pieces on my FJ40 I had an old '71 F100 pickup one time, bought it from one of the mechanics that worked in the shop at H.H.Moore's. Pretty good old truck actually, except it was really light duty. It came from the factory with the smallest Ford 6 cylinder and a 3 speed on the column. He swapped in a 351 out of a station wagon or something at some point, so it ran great but you still couldn't haul much with it, or the rear bumper would be dragging. The exhaust manifold on it cracked and I located a used one close by, already off the engine. Went over to get it and it was laying under a tree in the front yard amongst a pile of junk. The guy wanted $100 for it, and said "but if I was you I'd just go get me a pair of cheap headers". So I guess he didn't really want to sell the manifold anyway. It made no sense to me, but I did go get a pair of headers and slapped them on, back then they were about the same price as what he wanted for the used cast iron manifold. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
