1969 442-Exhaust Manifolds

Hi. Does anyobe know of a parts depot,that sells very good quality exhaust maniflods. My car came with headers on it and i want to bring it back to the original condition. There are quite a few parts distributors out there,and I was just wondering if any one knew of a a very good one that can make exact replacements. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Larry

The only manifold replacements I've seen are made by Thorton. I've heard they make a good product.

Have you checked your local boneyards to see if you can get some good used OEM? They clean up really easy and would only need new gaskets and bolts.

Depends on which exhaust manifolds you get. The BBO manifolds I've heard nothing but good stuff about. The small block 350 set they just came out with are disappointing.

Stock 371? send my a PM. I just sold my 371 to a guy and he just sent me an e-mail asking me to help him design headers, so I know he is not going to use them. I will hook you gus up
