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.

Allen makes exactly what you want at

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.

thats it exactley, if you think they look cool then go with em but if youre after performance log style manifolds are not what you want they have absolutley no scaveging affect and they are no where neer equalegnth

Hey JohnJan, have you ever had any trouble with the setup and how long have you had them?
