Edelbrock Marine Water Cooled Exhaust Manifolds :)

Wonder if these could be used on a car??? Weird but interesting.

Are those yours? You own them? Might be worth a buck or two. I'll tell you what, I'll give you $3 for them!

LOL no they aren't mine!!! I was just looking on kijiji.ca and found them.

It would make for a good ice breaker at cruises. "yeah thats right I've got water cooled manifolds!!!!"

I do not think they would work or at least not for long. Marine manifolds use constant supply of fresh or salt water to cool them and cool the exhaust. If you tied into your radiator it would overheat quickly. You would not need to cool the exhaust in a car as you need to in a boat, but i would think the marine manifold design would still be required to be cooled.

What Scott said. There's a reason why you don't see aluminum exhaust manifolds on cars.

Most boat engines are located in very small, confined, poorly vented wood & fibreglass compartments, so cooling the manifolds would be highly beneficial, especially with the high RPMs boat engines must turn.

Scott summed it up well, these are for boats, not for cars. Very cool looking though!

Good used marine manifold are going to be hard to find. Marine manifolds have a very hard life and by the time someone is done with them it is time for the trash.

Unless you can find a stainless steel set that are hardly used (100 hrs or less) preferablely in fresh water, I would just purchase new ones.
