300 c.i. 6 Cylinder Exhaust Manifold Leak

I know when I had the 300 in my truck, It was a Dual Exit manifold. These are not the one piece assemblies like yours, if I'm not mistaken. But you can get a used one from a wrecking yard, but BEWARE of cracked bolt flanges.

My father also had a 300 in his 82. He went through 3 intake manifolds before he finally got one that didn't break when he put it on the truck. But, don't let that discourage you. Just letting you know what to look out for.



1988 F-150 Custom to XLT Lariat conversion, 5.0 EFI (formerly 300 I6), 5-speed M5OD, 3.08 rear gears (will be upgraded to 3.55's), Summit headers, Flowmaster muffler W/ dual 3.5" tips 24" long.

Pioneer CD, AC, Tilt, Cruise, Mobile Radio, Lightbar (Force 4 LP6000), Federal Signal PA300 Siren W/100W Siren Speaker. Caution Customizing in progress, Watch for flying tools & Parts!
