I have a cracked Exhaust manifold in a 1980 350 chevy (mercury 260).
It is the old style with the exhaust at the end of the manifold (rather than center rise). I was thinking of taking it off and grinding it and then welding. Is it worth it? Will the new style work also? a new manifold is a min. of 200 bucks for one side.
the leak is rather minor. it wont sink the boat and it won let the manifold run hot, in fact it mostly steams away, but there is rust... etc..
ideas or suggestions?
thanks!
