any of you guys got a flat head six exhaust manifold ? i got a complete motor that a freinds grand son decide to "roll" over on its side and broke the manifold and damaged some other stuff to boot . well anyway i got a freind with a 49 i think shoe box with a six in it who was needing one and when i went to look at mine thats when i discovered the damage , so he's still looking .

 

Kevin - sorry I can't help on the six. I do know where a couple junkers sit in the area that might have sixes if you want to see if the owners would part them. Stu

 

I'll check this weekend, but I think I might have one. My truck has a six that I won't be using. I'm not sure it's all there, but if it has the exhaust manifold, it's yours.

yeah sure , heck if they'd just part with the manifold . if i drug another truck home or the other vehicle { grover!!!!!!! } i'm wanting , before i gto rid of another well.................... oopps i appreciate it !!!!!!!!!!

 

Those manifolds are getting really hard to find. A few years back a person I knew who had a barn full of old trucks and parts started to clean it out in preparation for a move. He offered me a complete flat 6 engine for free. It was a stuck engine but it had a good exhaust manifold, which is the only thing I wanted on it. I went over to his house to get the engine but he was already loading it into the bucket of his frontend loader, passenger side toward the bucket. Just as I got to the tractor the guy gave it a push and it dumped on it's side into the bucket smashing the manifold. I loaded it into my truck, drove home, took off the carb and drove the rest to the scrap yard.

 

...as Bob says, those flat six manifolds are becoming very, very hard to find. Also, be advised that the outlet pipe is positioned differently between the car and truck motors, and I am fairly certain they will not interchange.

Kevin - there's one on ebay. Ends early tomorrow. #310032296675. Su

 

Kevin, if you don't bid on it I will. Let me know what you're going to do.

 

i passed the info on to my freind about the one on e-bay . i was gonna give him the one i had off of my six till the discovered " damage " . i'm just looking to help him out here . . so if i can find one great , he's not looking for a freebie to be honest , and is willing within his limits { which i dont know } to pay . it's all he's lacking of getting his shoe box rolling . so if one of ya's got one fantastic , and stu if ya wanna tell me where those trucks are i'll go look , if not fella's no biggie . he and i appreciate yer help . oh and by the way if you do and i pass it on to him to contact you or vice versa he goes by sparkticus on the other forum . yeah i figured these werent gonna be an easy find due to the age and everyone dumped the six to put in an eight !!! thanx guys !!!!

 

Oh heck, Kevin, the one on ebay is an intake. Sorry, I misread your post. Stu

 

hmmmm stu getting like me and gotta go buy some new reading glasses ?????? when i became " grandpa " it all went to h-ll !!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have the exhaust manifold. It's off a '48 F-1. If you want it, let me know!

I was amazed at how easily it came off the engine. Hope the rest of the truck is as easy as that was!

If Kevin doesn't want it how do you want for it? Is the area where the exhaust pipe bolts up to in good condition? I've seen that area really get rough.

 

well guys... ya.... I am also looking for an exhaust manifold for my '49 flathead. SOOO I know it is first come first serve so Bob and Kevin. you can have them firs but if one happens to be available for purchase i would love to take it off anyones hands!!! Thank you!

 

yeppers i want it fellas , but if he { my freind } doesnt answer me pretty dain shortly ... oh well right . as for mine its split / cracked from the rollover and i'm gonna experiment on it and see if i can weld it up with the right rod etc. on my arc welder and a torch to heat it up !!!!!!!!! dain i didnt know so many were looking for one !! i'll keep my eyes open guys as occasionally i run into things !!! i know where theres a 52 or 53 sedan sitting thats pretty much shot with a six in it ........ but so far the guy will not come off of it , he's another afflicted with bj itis .
