John, I know you are made of cash but im into this whole rig for $300.00. There is no way in heck I am paying another three bills for an exhaust manifold. And I did look at that and saw the price. I am sure I can look locally and find one, just was hoping it could be fixed easy.

You can try to fix it, but it will crack again.
I get a lot of Slants given to me, and probably 2/3 or them have the manifold cracked, usually right next to where the center dump is, between 4 and 5. Some of them are broken in half.

Yeah, Dave I'm rollin' in it. On some stuff you just gotta spend the money. I've driven my 69 van with an exhaust leak when cold the entire time I've owned it. I've got a 2bbl carb,intake and exhaust to swap on, just haven't done it yet. When it is time to fix it, I'd go with a good used or new. I'd hate to put in all the time and effort to get it all installed properly, then have to do it again.

I rarely get one anymore that is good. They normally get stripped off if they are good because people know that the only thing worth any money on a Slant is the manifolds. Carbs are always a crap shoot too because most of them were junk when they were new.

My slant six exhaust manifold has a crack and now an exhaust leak. I am guessing there is no way to weld it? And then I guess I have to find a replacement? Any other way to fix these? RUMBLON
Local guy here in Yakima welds cast iron all the time
