exhaust manifold

[RPMLegends18]

hey guys,
i was wondering if the passenger side manifold is a center dump, i'm ditching the headers. we have a couple of sets laying around. just want to get the right ones. this is for a 318 in a 74 swinger...pics would be nice.

thanks,
Ryan :burnout:

I believe the passenger side is center dump on a 318.

yep it is, thanks for the help. Now another question...what is the best way to get color on them? High heat header paint?

hi pore 15 makes it. I used it on 340hps and was very happy with it.

I've used the hi temp paints from Eastwood and POR 15 for years and they hold up well, recently I powder coated a set of exhaust mainfolds with a new hi-temp powder from Eastwood, looks the same as cast gray, rated for 1200 degrees, how it holds up only time will tell.

There's always the pro alternative too.

Coated inside and out, 3-year warranty, three finishes to choose from (Performance Chrome [shown], Stealth Black or Cast Iron Gray) and all one price.

Here's the "before" picture.

cudachick 1968 what headers are those for and what type are they

thanks

Jeff, those are a customer's SBC shortie headers. I think they're Sandersons ... they'll be living in a '34 Ford Coupe in Ohio.

I was looking at the generic pricing, there is nothing for exhaust manifolds...the set I will be using is a 318 set, currently they are glass beaded bare cast finish. The heat riser has been removed on the right hand side. About how much would that be? Just for a cast iron color
