yeah

Just be careful not to heat the manifolds too much as it makes the metal brittle.

As always, thanks for the tips and the comments. I got a buddy who claims hes got a set with good studs but he's the buddy we all have that has the gold plated parts ($$$). I will find some today. Hope to put some fire in those holes this weekend.

Thanks, Scott

LMC truck has them brand new but they are pricey.
129.00 each...they also list the heat riser.
The picture they show is not the correct manifold.

Quick update: Been very busy and have not posted, I did find a set of old manifolds in the yard, I pulled them for $20 and needed to change the studs (always a pain in the $%#). I will try and get some new pics posted this weekend.

Great looking van. The detailed engine looks sweet. Looks like it will be a nice runner with many trouble free miles.
