Inliners International Forums General Discussion Ford 300 split manifolds???

does anyone make a split manifold for the 300 like the stove bolts for the chevys??? or how about some late model one? did ford make any ?

I don't know if Ford ever offered a split manifold for the 300, but Kansas Customs splits Chevy/GMC stock manifolds and maybe you could convince them to try a Ford. Since the 300 is a later engine most I've seen used split tube headers which are readily available.

Split exhaust manifold?


The efi 300's used a split or dual exhaust manifold.

the fi engines have a very neat cast iron 3-1 split manifold....about 70/half from these folks. parts stores arte over hundred/half.....

I have the dual cast manifolds on my 81 F250 and I like them. Things to consider:
- they use 2.25" pipe
- they have no heat provision for the automatic choke. I converted to manual.
- they have no manifold heat provision. If you look in tech tips, you'll find a nice photo essay on building adapters to provide hot water heat to the intake manifold.
- they have no warm-air provision for the air cleaner. I bought a heavy aluminum foil basting pan at the supermarket, wrapped it around the front manifold as best as I could, and slit a hole in it for the heat riser tube. It works.

I'M LOOKING FOR A SPLIT MANIFOLD FOR A MODEL A FORD 4 CYL USING THE STOCK UP DRAIFT CARB.
