Take it to a good weld shop and see what they can do with it. |

welding was the first thing i tried . did'nt heat and cool the cast correctly ,fixed one crack but made another .so i ground on the crack and gooberd it up .put it back on and it's now leaking from the bolt holes and out of the edge of the gooberd area which means internal cracks but the engine ran good at least.so i still need a manifold. |

The only other thing is to locate one off a scrapped engine. There are no new or after market ones. The original manifold molds were scrapped. |
