split exhaust manifolds
yes, ford used them on the EFI versions of the 300s, from 1987-1996. they flow like a header and are a good upgrade for the carb'd 300s, espically if u cant afford a header or want to look stockish.

Just for S&G today, I asked the dealership how much they get for these new. A pair of them goes for about $350, new. And, Ford sez there is no manifold gasket that goes in between it and the head... FYI.

Step 1: Go to junkyard
Step 2: pull off exhaust manifolds. Then you can have ones like mine. One word of caution, though. If you use them w/ an Offey intake, you will have to grind the lugs off of the outside face of the rear manifold. I ran a small berry brush through mine, made a lot of difference. Stock there is no gasket, but go to any parts store, and ask for a manifold gasket. Both are together.

Thanks for the heads up!
How hard is it to do? I am glad you said something as I was going to have my exhaust manifolds blasted opened up and coated. If I had found this out after I had the work done, the manifolds would be "ruined."

Search the 240/300 forum at fordsix. There was a long discussion on how to get that hole sealed up. It used a crush washer and plug. I can't remember the thread size on the plug. In addition to the above post about blasting / tanking and coating, it's a real good idea to get the manifolds resurfaced. I'm sure it's not as big a deal as the old dual log setup, but it's insurance against leaks and developing fractures when used in conjunction with the gasket.
