Exhaust manifold problems
My exhaust manifold on my 223 62 ford finally broke.
Where can I find a replacement? What other engines have the same manifold or is there a header that I can buy to replace it?
Thanks

nope it is cracked so bad that when I take it off, I will have about 5 peices.
It sounds like aftermarket to me to. damn. I was hoping for a cheap fix.
I was thinking of putting in a 300 to replace the 223, don't want to spend a lot of money on the 223 if I am going to change it out.

C3AZ-9426-A (replaced B4A-9426-A, B6A-9426-A, B8A-9426-A & C1TE-9426-A) .. Exhaust Manifold / Obsolete
Applications: 1954/64 F100/600 & Ford Passenger Cars 223 I-6 / 1963/64 F100/250 262 I-6.
No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any, not reproduced, very hard to find used...as it's very prone to cracking.
Welding the puppy usually doesn't work, as once the manifold gets hot, the weld gives away.

Walt, how bad is it? If its just a crack it can either be welded up via traditional methods with a buzzbox. Drill both ends of the crack, V cut the area slightly, heat it up to around 800-1000 degrees, and work your way across the piece using a heating then welding technique. Cast iron is hard to weld without a doubt, but not impossible.
Someone posted a link for MuggyWeld awhile back that could have some potential as well. I have not personally seen the results of that system, but their videos are very cool. Aluminum Welding & Aluminum Repair | MuggyWeld.com
If its completely broken, then it will be tough. Then it will require a jig to hold the piece flat and together as it is welded to avoid warping. This is the worst case scenario.
Either way, its broken. What do you have to lose?

Well, on June 1st, I am pulling the ole girl into the shop to replace the wood in the bed. Probable at the sametime, I might just yank the front clip off and replace the engine with a 300 cu in. I hate doing that cause it is all stock but I am thinking it might be time. the carb is acting up, she is using more oil now. ai suppose I could put in a powersteering unit then. just dreaming I guess.
But for sure the wood has to be replaced. I will argue with myself about the engine after the bed is back on.
