So i am tired of looking for used headers, and im going to bolt on the stock manifolds and go.
some Q's re: the manifolds.
they have been sitting outside and inside for a while, theyre rusty and the studs for the exhaust pipe connections are rotted away.
what paint do you all recommed? can I just plug the air ports ( i forgot if these had air ports or not) and what is the best way to get some freaknasty rotted studs out? torch and cool method?
should i have these magnafluxed? that might defeat my purpose of being cheap, the engine was never run hard before the rebuild.
is there any way to clean out the insides, could i just soak them in the partwasher ?
what do i need to have in order to connect some exhaust to these? all i have is the manifolds... what size pipe, gaskets, collecters, etc. can local exhaust shops flare and provide a coupler thing?
thanks
