Cracked X-manifold

Has anyone tried to weld one in place. I ask this because so many have said the studs will snap off if tried to remove. I'm in no position to remove the whole motor nor have a way to to drill them out.

I'd look for a used one, welding cast iron manifolds usually doesn't last.

E3TZ-9426-C .. Exhaust Manifold Obsolete

Fits: 1965/74 F100/350 240 I-6 / Fits: 1965/83 F100/350 300 I-6

Fits: 1965/72 Ford 240 I-6 passenger cars.

I searched all the US Ford dealers inventories for a new original, found just one > >

Don Sanderson Ford in Glendale AZ has one new E3TZ-9426-C in stock.

I searched two Ford obsolete parts sellers (Green Sales & DC): Zero.

E3TZ-9426-C replaced: C5AZ-9426-C / D1AZ-9426-A / D5TZ-9426-A / D7TZ-9426-C

manifolds

Go to ebay and buy a new set. I paid about $18 each for a pair. They have been on my truck for a year now. You will see them listed for much higher prices. Don't buy those. Buy the cheap ones. They are all the same.

The OP has a 6 banger, why would he need a pair of exhaust manifolds, if there's only one?

His post didn't say what engine he had. I assumed he had a v8. But you already knew that. My mistake.

Thanks for the neighborly message.

They can do amazing things with powder welders these days on cast iron.
Had my mustang manifolds fixed this way a few years ago. No problems so far.
Find someone with a powder welder that knows what material to use.
As far as doing it on the vehicle, I think that's a formula for disaster.

I think this is a spring time job and will need to wait until then. I had seen an old thread about iron performance manifolds from cars that had great flow characteristics , are there places to get them or too pricey?

Does anyone remember the Dillon Mark IV welding torch? It was introduced sometime in the 80's, and we had a product demonstration given by a factory rep at my auto body class. The gent giving the demo welded a broken cast iron exhaust manifold using an old piston ring as a rod, without pre-heating the manifold, then when finished, proceeded to toss the manifold the length of the shop and into a concrete wall with no ill effects. I was impressed. They are available at Henrob 2000 Welding and Cutting Torch - $379 everyday! - FREE shipping
