Hi Folks, Well I've finally got the exhaust manifold out and wondering what to do about it. It has a vertical 4" hairline crack running up the center pipe, to the le= ft of center. When I turned it o

Hi Adrian, You can get a header from Kirk in Birmingham ALA for about $129-150. Tom Shirley Sale Creek, TN

Only two cracks? Not bad for a 75 manifold. (they all crack) Personally, I would go for this idea if it was on the car and they could weld it without taking it off the car. Since it's already off, I

Hi folks, Let me thank you all for your words of wisdom on exhaust manifolds. Armed with said knowledge, I talked with the machine shop guy and, when pressed, he said that there may be a good chance

Oh boy. Here we go. The standard exhaust manifold for the dual-SU 'B' motors was a pretty efficient design; it is unlikely you can install a header and get better performance out of a fairly stock mo

I'm still waiting for my Vizrds book to get here...This could be answered there already... But, I would think that you could take the stock cast iron header and have some real fancy work done on them

Hi Bob Allen!! What did the '75 Midget have, the single carb, or was it dual carbs?? As dyno tested by Vizard on the Midget's "A" series engines, you're right, the stock manifold is hard to beat with

Mr Allen is 100% correct. Your best bet is replacement with original cast iron. I can not believe there is not a loose one flooding around on this list some where. Safety Fast, David Deutsch better t

I would have to agree with Bob on this one. About ten years ago, I decided to replace the manifold on my 71BGT with headers, for performance purposes. Granted, I ordered a cheap header from J.C.Whit

Sorry guys, the 75 midget did not have an "A" series engine. Instead it was the Sp**re unit. A horse of an entirely different color The "A" series exhaust manifold is very good when compared to a lot

Just a note that the original message was about Midgets, not Bs. It might follow that the cast iron Midget 1500 manifold is similar to the B one, in that it flows well and dissipates heat well, so fo

Now that it is late in the evening, I look over today's posting and see that I may have made a bit of an error. I expounded greatly on the 'B' cast manifold as you sneakily hid in the title that you'
