Thorton makes reproduction W and Z manifolds. They also make a driver's side manifold for the full sized cars. However, they are pricey. I will also need stock manifolds when I am ready to put my engine in the car. I broke off an EZ Out in one and the other is cracked.

I bought a set of the W-Z exhaust manifolds on e-bay for $175.00 including shipping. Took about a month of checking, several sets showed up but many of them had broken tabs

The other problem with used manifolds is that there can be heavy rust pitting, particularly under the heat riser stove where moisture can get trapped.

That's why I have been saving a couple sets from the desert southwest--no nasty corrosion! Don't know what I'll ever use them for. . .
