driver side exhaust manifold ideas

[WALFORD'S 56]

My dr.side exhaust manifold snapped in 2 last night,and wonder if anyone has a exhaust manifold for duals? I have another engine to steal a manifold from...but since this happened might as well change it now before front end gets installed. What manifold works and what don't? I heard car manifolds won't work on a f100. Oh....it is a 56 F100 with 272. Thanks.........Bill

The options are headers, Rams, crossover, or crossover style with DS dumping at the front, down and back. I have a good DS crossover manifold for not much if you need it. Car manifolds interefere on the DS with the steering column.

You can buy one Ram's Horn from Mummert for $200 (they are the same for both sides), then buy the other one later (or $349 for the pair), use Red's headers (think they're $225 for a pair,
or do the "redneck header" thing as the PO of my Uni did :-).

Hate to spend that kind of money right now. I found another manifold...but it will be like the 1 that broke.
If anyone comes across a dual manifold please let me know.....Thanks
