I have a '63 Galaxie 500 with a 390 and stock manifolds. The passenger side exhaust manifold is cracked and I can not find a replacement anywhere. Are there any suggested donor cars that will bolt right into place? Will a truck manifold fit properly with the exhaust pipe coming off of it?
Normally it wouldn't be a big deal if I had to use whatever I could find (ex. truck manifold) but it already has brand new dual exhaust, which I don't want to hack up too badly.
You have a couple choices for exhaust manifolds, but only one choice (62-66 full size except Tbirds) if you want to keep the original style exhaust pipes without any cutting.
There are repro cast iron headers and Sanderson shorty headers that will only require minor changes to the exhaust pipes.
In 1968 Ford made a change to the exhaust port location and that can cause sealing problems mixing newer manifolds with older heads and vice versa.
also old mercurys would work too
i got a set of manifold off my 63 galaxie w/ a 352 i think thell fit. brandnew gaskets to.
