Trying to get my 442 back on the road after garage napping for the last several years due to original 4 piston brakes leaking by. Have to replace I rebuilt them a few times over the last 25 years or so since I bought the car in 1986 (Ohio). Car had a 69 350 in it since the original 400 was shot and was replaced with the 350. I bought the car had it to home and dang if the my friends garage didn't burn down with all the spare parts before I could get back up to pick them up but lucky for me the 400 was under a heavy oak work bench and survived except for heat damage to a lot of sensor and such.
Long story short, I put back together and rebuilt a basket case motor with no internet back then really to get info pics and details and such, so it is a hodge podge of 68-69 parts and now that I have the motor back out to replace all the brake components and everything else it needs including the right exhaust manifolds I could really use the help in getting it right.
If anyone has or knows where I can get the LH X389269 exhaust manifold along with the RH Y398706 I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Welcome to the site! Sorry to hear you lost a lot of parts. I'd encourage you to create a new post in the parts wanted section, include what you want in the title. That might get more attention from people with spare manifolds.

Also, I have some of the 4 piston calipers too. There's a discussion on these that has references of places that will install stainless steel sleeves that should make them last longer. Read through this thread, other members have posted references there John

John,
Thanks for the quick reply, there certainly is a lot more resources available now for getting parts and old ones repaired. I do have an extra set of calipers that need remanufactured also. As for the exhaust manifolds I actually had a spare 400 motor that I took out of a parts car in 1993 but I sent it back up to Ohio with the 442 for my brother-law to work- on since he had a garage and lifts but it never happened and the spare 400 actually got accidentally sold during an auction he held in his garage. He wasn't aware the motor went out the door. Heck that motor with all trimmings was priceless to me. Oh we'll no since crying over used motor oil.
