Hey Gents,
Im looking to purchase some stainless manifolds and risers for a ford 351 W. Does anyone know where I can find some? Are there companies that mass produce them or do I have to get them custom made? Any and all info is appreciated.
Thanks,
`Dave

Much harder to locate s/s manifolds for Fords than GM based products... unless you want to go through the hassle of adaptor plates etc.

Thanks Steve,
Ill give Allen a call.
I could get a set of these, how do they look to you guys? Are there any disadvantages to these high performance manifolds/risers. I would think that the one peice design would be advantageous. I previously had volvo penta OEM risers/manifolds. In addition, I have 4 inch pipes and it seems that most of these risers are 3''. Is there an adapter that will fit a 3'' on one side and open up to a 4'' on the other?

Rex Marine has Kodiak aluminum center-rise marine exhaust systems to fit small-block Fords. I'm running a set on my SBF powered 16 Donzi and not only are they light-weight, they also flow quite well. They only show the Chevrolet versions on their website, but if you give them a call they can get you a price on the SB Ford version.

I've got a set of those manifolds on my 383 Chevy's. They are old Stainless Marine pieces. Very well built, but a bit unothodox in appearance which turns some folks off. I think they're pretty neat looking myself. I would not consider them to be high performance items though - just another variation on a log type exhaust manifold.
