That is the best ex. manifold to have. They are more likely not to sag at the rear. Keep it and find a proper Autolite cover for it. Saying that, the hole in your firewall may still be located wrong. But that’s a different problem.

It looks like you have a firewall hole placement for an otwell heater, but have an AutoLite exhaust manifold on your vehicle.
