I assume '63 is different? If it can work, I have one available.

<p>If all else fails, I'll have to go with headers. Right now I'm hoping I'll find a decent used manifold. Luckily(?) it's heading into rainy season here so I'll have time to work on options. I was under the car today and see that the crack is almost completely encircling the manifold so I think welding is no longer an option.</p>

<p>out of curiosity,,,, if you dont find a replacement, and the other options sound like a guess it il work at best,, what do you do then? do you look for another engine? i mean if none of your options work, were does one go from there..</p>

<p>Assuming I can get the RH exhaust manifold off without damaging it, I will start going down my Wait List. I currently have 5 customers looking for a 64 RH Exhaust Manifold, spanning back to 2015. Two of them are Chapter members and were only added this past year, but will get 1st dibbs. I can add you to my Wait List if you like. Email me your contact info to jasonedge@nc.rr.com. Join the CLC and then our free Chapter and you will bump ahead the other non-chapter members. To join the CLC go…</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply, I agree that finding a replacement is best. The crack is large so I may have to attempt a repair until I can locate a manifold.</p>
<p>I hear you on getting it off without breaking bolts. Fortunately in a former life I was a mechanic and worked in a shop that replaced many cracked manifolds so I got pretty adept at removing them without breaking bolts and occasionally removing broken bolts. I'll let it soak in penetrating oil for a long time before attempting to…</p>
