Slick 60's

got the 223 in the 61 and found a hole burnt thru the exhaust manifold
can this be fixed in the truck ie an EASY fix like some kind of putty??

this would be until i can scrounge up a better one!

Maybe some muffler puty or some muffler bandage if you have that over there!, depends where it is.

maybe some V8 badges to tide you over , sorry!!!


Alan,

a machine shop should be able to fill it in for you.

If the exhaust manifold from a 262 is the same as the 223 I have one that I will give you. Will bring it to Slick Stock.

thanks for the offer, im new to this, had a 61 unibody in highschool
but let it go. but recently picked up a 61 4x4 thats very original.
while scanning the net for info, i found the slick60s forum, and have been
reading it quite often. i would like to go to slickstock but dont know much about it. (intiminated) since i farm it might be a busy time for me, but if i go i will try to hook up thanks again .

i used some JB weld one time on an engine, was away and it worked for about 2 weeks until i was able to properly repair, i dont know how much heat it can withstand though,

a buddy of mine cross threaded the spark plug in his dirt bike, he used jb weld on the threads and it worked for years,

vapormatic vaporizer

i wondered about jb weld , dont know if it will resist that much heat
next time im in town ill ask the guys at autozone

nothing a little bubble gum and tin foil cant fix. i dont recomend using sugarless gum though it doest stick as well

ive actually used tin foil on a tractor (no gum though)
every morning i jammed the hole shut and put a piece of baling wire
around it to hold it in place it was beyond repair
sure beat breathing diesel smoke
the best price i could find on a manifold was half the cost of what i gave for the tractor!
the day i sold it was a happy one :lol:

got to love that jb weld......i'll have to check the m.s.d.s. on the temp.

I hope your autozone comment was a joke.... the kids I have seen at autozone (any/all) are complete morons.... I ran into some of them that didnt even know what the hell brake line was.... why cant there be some sort of automotive knowledge prerequisite test? Just basic crap.....


JB weld is good crap. I've never pushed its limits though. seems I've read on the package that it's good for 600 deg or so... that's kinda cool. I might have forgotten though.
