hello,
i am building 292cid mostly stock for a daily driver to replace the 235cid that has died. the exhaust manifold that came with the donnor motor is in pretty ruff shape, the exhaust diverter to the intake is completely missing and a couple of broken studs that need to be drilled and replaced. question, in the wrecking yard there is a truck with a 250cid it has stock intake and exhaust manifolds on it. the exhaust manifold looks like a one piece dual exhaust manifold (two exhaust pipes leave it and join into one pipe by the z-bar for the clutch). has anyone seen one of these before? could i use it without losing any performance over the stock manifold i already have? could i run dual exhaust from it and get that castiron header sound? i would be grateful for any thoughts, insights, experiences, or knowledge that anyone could offer. thank you!
