I own a 1977 292 G20 Sportvan with a major exhaust leak. Somewhere on this forum or another I was read that you cam switch manifolds on the 250/292.
So when a 1974 Nova with a 250 intake/exhaust and carb for a very resonable price I bought it.
Is is okay do downgrade manifolds?
If so I am having a hard time finding the right exhuast flange.
The 2 bolt style. It looks like your friend at 12 bolt has something that might work

All that being said i am looking to replace the exhaust, but at the moment just broke to get her moving again.
I am on a serious budget, I had no plans to do any work to van van except change the oil,whaen i bought it 5 years ago but alas I can't let her go. Any advice you inliners coukd give would be greatly appreciated.
