After my ongoing issues around the right hand exhaust manifold in my car I thought I would have a go at making my own and I think the result came out ok. Just some background on the setup. My car was converted to a chev 350 in the early 90's when parts and information wasn't I presume available like it is today. The right hand manifold swept forward to the front of the engine and then went towards the rear beside the sump which when I purchased the car last year I always thought looked weird. The left bank was ok as there is room to move. So buying something off the shelf wasnt going to work as my engine mounts had been moved forward. Any how I purchased the gear drive starter motor to create some room and ordered the mandril bends and a 4 into 1 collector and reusing the old flange and a couple of the existing bends here is the result. Its not going to be 500hp fire breathing beast but until I decide what I want to do long term its better than what was there. (eventually I think Ill get another K frame and build a nice 355 and return it to Holden)

I think it ok for a busted ass old sparkie.
