Answer a question with a question?

I don't have the history or background on this car. I also don't have a lot of 'Olds' knowledge and look to 'senior' members help, when offered. My engine questions are derived from the obvious conversion to dual exhaust, and a rather trick on at that. I'm assuming the following:

1. the 67 425ci was either 2 or 4 barrel carbed. The engine I have is now equipped with aftermarket intake and carb (both Edelbrock). Without knowing the original configuration, I cannot verify its origin.

2. They either were single pipe or duals. I am told that all duals went aft on opposite sides of the engine (not crossing over like mine has been routed). My concern stems from the drivers side crossing underneath the oil pan through what I assume is from a Toronado as it has the relief in it. I cannot believe that the single exhaust 67 Delta 88 had the same cross-over as the Toro did. Or am I way off-base?

3. I can only assume then that if I have a Toro oil pan, exhaust manifolds form a Toro (not verified either), and connot verify what the original intake (low profile) was, I can only assume the entire motor was from a Toro of the same vintage (1967).

That leads me back to the last post. Where (links, names, etc...) can I find the reproduction exhaust manifolds?
