I have a 1964 Ford F600 bob truck with hydraulic dump bed. Been on our farm since 68. Original 292 has a cracked driverside manifold and a rotten crossover pipe. Runs great just really loud. Will any 57-64 292 manifold bolt up or are the truck ones different. Any suggestions on finding a manifold is appreciated. Thanks

 

Back in the day when our family car, a Y-block powered '57 Ford DelRio station wagon cracked an exhaust manifold, my dad had the local service station (remember them?) weld it up. It was still holding when he traded it for a new Y-block powered '61 Ford.

I was 7 or 8 years old at the time, but somehow I remember this "important" event.

 

Welding cast can be done, but it is an art.

Looks like you can find the manifold on all kinds of vehicles:

Will the rams horn type manifolds fit?

 

Welcome to FTE, btw

The two barrel intakes are common and cheap compared to the four barrel versions.

 

Thanks for the help. The next task is getting the old manifold off to repair or replace. I have a 66 F600 parts truck with a good 330 V8 but would like to stay original if possible. Will try to post pictures.

 

Sounds good. While replacing manifold, might want to adjust valve lash on the solid lifters. Here's a good method for the Y block:
