391 Exhaust??

[Mr. Jones]

Found a set of 8 bolt,centre dump exhaust manifolds still on the engine.Will these bolt on a 352 head.
Thanks,
Dan

no

look at the pics and see why, the extra bolts and extra holes
330\361\391 FT


FE, 352,360,390 etc.


now if you found a set of these cast iron header that would be worthwhile


these are also useable

Brian,
Thanks for the quick response,I was actually at the junkyard debating to pull or not pull'em.Ended up getting a set of rust free 64style inter- fenders instead.
Thanks again.. See you in Salina

Dan, they will bolt up but they have an extra hole in the middle for a heat source to carb. I think I read somewhere that there is a clearance issue on something, maybe the steering box. Tom

Tom,
I mocked them up on passenger side but not the driver. Thanks for the tip. I have a 2wd 65 F250. Moving the perch to the I6 location and extinding the engine mounts forward on a plate they will clear the pipe. As far as the extra hole that wont seal I am putting a 3/16 plate between head and manifold. I will mock it up on the driver side before going any further. I am keeping manual steering so maybe the manifold won't hit box.

yesterday when i was looking for those pics i ran across this
pretty old but might be of some help
seems you may already have figured around a few of the issues

It is close on the passenger side crossmember, about 1/4" over it. Being a 2" pipe I think the exhaust man can clear the member with the 5" he had to play with. If not I'll make a 45° adapter between pipe and manifold out of some thick 2 1/4" pipe. I had thought of welding up the hole but if it cracks or won't work I'll have a chunk like Rusty Old F250 in the article.
