420ponies Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Help ! I've broken my Driver's side exhaust manifold for my BBC and need another one to replace it. I had them all set to go in and then it dropped from the hanger I had on it prior to painting it. Great,Just Great, fell on the last manifold bolt hole at the rear of manifold and broke off. I doubt there's a way to fix it and be able to use it. Does anyone have an "extra" ? All I can find online are passenger side. What really gets me is they were "curing" for the last 9 days with said hangers and no problems. 1 step forward ,2 steps back. On the good side, new driveshaft is ready to be installed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I’ll look tomorrow after work. I do believe they can be welded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Dennis i was just going to say that!!! I don't think its weld i think its brazed, but you can have it done. expensive but if you want date/numbers matching worth it!! Jim sorry to hear of this. I know i have one but it has the emission tubes, probably not for your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420ponies Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 I have a "bushing" made, so maybe I can still use this piece on the drivers side until I can find a replacement. I can buy "passenger side" all day long but not the driver's side ? What gives ? Doesn't matter to me if the emission holes ,I can get plugs for those, grind and look just fine.
