custom manifold by a buddy

 

nice looking truck, why change the manifold?

 

The guy said he bought the manifold kit on here and it been fixed and cracked so many times cause how thin it is I don't wanna deal with it. So im getting a nice stainless one made of the exact same thing

 

oh ok good choice then

 

Post a pic of the manifold so we know what not to buy lol

Nice truck !

 

 

Idk if anyone has ever purchased a ebay header before but with those you can just tell that the metal is thin and cheap. Thats how this one felt.

 

That doesn't look like a trick or kb to me. You might be able to sell someone that hot side on the cheap and buy a trick or kb hotside for around $1500 and then you don't have to worry about it.

 

Looks like a homemade job...
On a side note though, your truck looks good!

Gotb the manifold built by a buddy . Took it to the track and melted #8 piston

So I bought a forged motor and going e85 . Not sure if it was fuel starvation or water meth. that caused it but now I'm rebuilding
