Re: New to the Y Block!
[QUOTE=
You are apparently lookng for exhaust manifolds, not what is commonly referred to as "headers". Headers as normally referred to is a collection of steel tubes that are welded to a header flange. To answer your question on this item, I have only one cast iron manifold which is for the right side of the style introduced in 1957 y-block. The ram-horn style I believe was for the old Lincoln and truck ohv V-8. I believe these were 287 and 317 cid engines although they will bolt onto the y-blocks. Someone will probably corect me on the issue of cid.[/QUOTE]
Actually, there are 2 different 'ramshorn' type of manifolds. The ones for the Lincoln will not work on a Y block Ford engine. The Ford type have the bolt holes in a straight line across the manifold, where the Lincoln are staggard. More than a few guys looking for the Ford type have been duped by the seller telling them that they will fit.
