Those manifolds are getting really hard to find. A few years back a person I knew who had a barn full of old trucks and parts started to clean it out in preparation for a move. He offered me a complete flat 6 engine for free. It was a stuck engine but it had a good exhaust manifold, which is the only thing I wanted on it. I went over to his house to get the engine but he was already loading it into the bucket of his frontend loader, passenger side toward the bucket. Just as I got to the tractor the guy gave it a push and it dumped on it's side into the bucket smashing the manifold. I loaded it into my truck, drove home, took off the carb and drove the rest to the scrap yard.

...as Bob says, those flat six manifolds are becoming very, very hard to find. Also, be advised that the outlet pipe is positioned differently between the car and truck motors, and I am fairly certain they will not interchange.

i passed the info on to my freind about the one on e-bay . i was gonna give him the one i had off of my six till the discovered " damage " . i'm just looking to help him out here . . so if i can find one great , he's not looking for a freebie to be honest , and is willing within his limits { which i dont know } to pay . it's all he's lacking of getting his shoe box rolling . so if one of ya's got one fantastic , and stu if ya wanna tell me where those trucks are i'll go look , if not fella's no biggie . he and i appreciate yer help . oh and by the way if you do and i pass it on to him to contact you or vice versa he goes by sparkticus on the other forum . yeah i figured these werent gonna be an easy find due to the age and everyone dumped the six to put in an eight !!! thanx guys !!!!

I was amazed at how easily it came off the engine. Hope the rest of the truck is as easy as that was!

yeppers i want it fellas , but if he { my freind } doesnt answer me pretty dain shortly ... oh well right . as for mine its split / cracked from the rollover and i'm gonna experiment on it and see if i can weld it up with the right rod etc. on my arc welder and a torch to heat it up !!!!!!!!! dain i didnt know so many were looking for one !! i'll keep my eyes open guys as occasionally i run into things !!! i know where theres a 52 or 53 sedan sitting thats pretty much shot with a six in it ........ but so far the guy will not come off of it , he's another afflicted with bj itis .
