Desperately need Exhaust Manifold '73 455

Any ideas on where I can locate LH Exhaust manifold for 73 Olds 455? I will take new or used, either one. Also looking for an oil dip stick tube.

No luck with fusick

Thank you!!

That #4 in the pic is a small block manifold. Some smogger BBO motors came with SBO manifolds from the factory.

Here's a drivers side from a 1971 Olds 98 455. It has been repaired, but that's on the inside and can't be seen when mounted to the engine. Previous owner milled the face where it mounts to the head, so that has a nice surface to it. I don't remember for sure, but believe the threads where it bolts to the exhaust pipe are good. There are some pits in the metal where the pipe flange fits against it. If you want to give it a try price would be $25 plus shipping from Oregon. John

73' parts

the '73 x-manifold is a different animal from earlier versions. It is fully chambered and is a sort of mini header. Thornton makes repops. of the W, which is I think, the same. http://thorntonmusclecars.com/produc...aust-manifolds
The dipstick tube can be had at BAP. here : http://oldsparts.com/page34.htm
