I have a 72 455. It's going to be going in a 79 Holiday 88. I need the manifold the dumps straight down into the j-pipe. Also need an intake that'll clear an HEI dist for the 455. Oil pan, crossover pipe as well. Any and all help apreciated. TIA.

 

I've got a 1971 455 with the manifolds on it. I'm not sure if you need the drivers side or passengers side manifold. I also have a used but in good condition crossover pipe. I'm located in Medford Oregon. Let me know if you don't find something closer. John

 

John,
I have both manifolds on my engine. I need the newer one that dumps straight down into the j-pipe with a catalytic convertor. The one I have presently goes out at an angle.
Can I get a pick of the crossover pipe? dreamsolds@yahoo.com.

 

Here's a couple old photos, I'll need to dig around to see what I still have. I'm thinking you need the one where the rear pipe points straight down, is that right? John

Yes! correct. The one with three bolt holes in the picture.

 

Well, I dug three of them out of my manifold pile but one has a broken ear, one has a broken bolt in the blind hole of the three bolts then the last has bad looking threads in all three of the back bolt holes

If you can't find a good one I'd be willing to send you the best of the three for the shipping costs, maybe you could make it work. But if you can find a good one that would be better than messing with one of these. Sorry, John

 

I'm not having any luck, yet. Could you get me a shipping quote? Ohio zip 44515? Thanks

 

It might be the weekend before I can get one boxed up. I'll let you know as soon as I can. John

 

Thanks John. I can wait.

 

I live in Canton, I have 2 stock manifolds off of a BBO. we used these type manifolds in a 455 install in a 77 olds Delta 88 they should work fine, I also have a cast iron Toronado intake that will clear an HEI and it also lowers the carb down for the additional hood clearence you'll need.
I would let them all go for $75.00.
