'68 430 exhaust mans Both my exhaust manifolds are cracked & there's no way I can afford TA's headers right now....looking for both sides. Need RH manifold from a '68-'75 400, 430 or 455, LH manifold from a '68-'69 400 or 430. Thanks!
68-75 ///400-430-455 cid engine RH exhaust manifold = #1238094 68-69 ///400-430 cid engine LH exhaust manifold = #1245443 So seach by engine cid and year, not by model. Also your requirement to first have them checked may either eliminate or at a minimum severely restrict your replys.
Thanks, Jim! I guess visual inspection's sufficient for exhaust manifolds.... What do those #s reference? The #s stamped into the manifolds themselves?
A little off topic, but, a female that digs big old Buicks is just, well...HOT! Kristy, I'm still trying to finish up the deal on my '68 Riv. It's nice to see more women involved in a typical guy hobby. Good luck. Post some pics sometime. D.
Thanks for the encouragement! My dad got rid of his '63 Impala before I was old enough to stop him, but he did manage to instill a love of horsepower. I bought the Riv as my first car from a friend w/ 68K original miles, beat the crap out of it for 40K miles, and am now totally stripping & rebuilding the motor. We found a couple bent connecting rods, a completely blocked oil p/u screen, & an oil pump that looked like gravel went thru it, among other things. I know I'll need new tires & springs (talk about body roll!!) once it's back together, & I'm sure the projects will just snowball from there...
