1972 F-100, 390V8, looking for right side (passenger side) exhaust manifold and bolt / nut kit.

Is D0TZ.9430.A the correct part number?

Also any shot at availability of an OEM part?

Aw, what the hell, what's the driver's side (left side) exhaust manifold part number and availability?

Not looking to replace manifolds with headers -- keeping this truck as close to stock as I can.

 

I have had no problems getting estimates at local auto shops for exh manifolds for my 360 ci. I think that manifolds are about $130 each.

 

This place sells aftermarket replacement cast iron manifolds which look like stock, but supposedly are better designed castings. The prices are reasonable; $50-$60 each. I haven't tried them myself yet, but I got the recommendation on this forum.

Ford F250 Truck Exhaust Manifold at 1AAuto.com

 

D0TZ9430A (replaced C5TZ9430A) .. Exhaust Manifold-Right (Passenger) Side / Obsolete

Fits: 1965/67 F100/350 352 / 1968/76 F100/350 360/390.

M & M FORD L/M in Liberty NY has ONE = 845-292-8600.

HAVEN FORD SALES in Haven KS has ONE = 800-748-7803.

WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS in Liberty KY has ONE = 606-787-5293.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has ONE = 800-543-4959.

No other FoMoCo Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

The dealers are usually cheaper than the obsolete parts vendors because they are STUCK with the parts, since they can no longer be returned to Ford for credit.

HAVEN will prolly be cheaper than the other sources, but...

The last MSRP for this manifold was $341.58 / Dealer net cost was $204.95.

 

bill can some manifolds such as ones bought at autozone just be refinished and possibly warped? what are the type of stock manifolds that have a header shape to them? i think i have seen them on cars with fe's but not trucks?
i would tend to think that would be better than big jungle jym headers.

 

I don't know anything about aftermarket exhaust manifolds, never bought or even seen one.

C3AZ9430E .. Right & C3AZ9431F .. Left Exhaust Manifolds / 1962/64 390/406/427.

C5AZ9430C .. Right & C5AZ9431C .. Left Exhaust Manifolds / 1965/68 427.

 

Thanks Bill! Was noticing an exhaust leak and right away found a crack on the passenger side manifold, right in the middle. Cranked it up and sure 'nuff, exhaust leak through the crack.

 

EEK! Green Sales has both the left and right in stock , but at $275 EACH.

M&M - right side only in stock, $273.

Wesley - right side only in stock, $300.

No response yet from Haven.

 

^ ^ ^ I'm not surprised, considering that:

The prices you've been quoted are less than the last MSRP.

 

Those ones from 1A Auto appear to $152 for a pair and they claim that their "improved" design addresses/eliminates the shortcomings of the OEM units.
Just My $.02,
Gene

 

A good pair of quality headers is cheaper.

 

I bought a pair from A1 for my 360CID. So far, no problems.

 

Yea no kidding. Find me an aftermarket manufacturer whose selling strategy is a claim stating their product is crappier than the original. 'Tain't gonna happen.

 

And as I stated in my original post, headers are NOT a consideration.

 

Did Haven ever get back to you? I called and spoke with the P/M yesterday on an unrelated matter.

During the conversation I brought up the DOTZ manifold...he said someone else took the call, said he would let you know.
