exhaust setup

I come to find out the hard way that power stroke exhaust manifold spacing is to wide for the idi motors. Can they be cut down in between the cylinders and then rewelded so that they would fit an idi motor? It was just a brain storm that i had while trying to figure out the exhaust.

Even if you could cut them down to fit and welded them, they'd crack in no time from the heat.
Just find the correct manifolds and bolt them in IMO...

the manifolds are cast iron, correct? If so, cast iron is a b*tch to weld and probly wont last. Might be better off to tray to make some headers of your own....
