Exhaust Manifold
I need to replace one of my exhaust manifolds. I see that LMC truck has them for around $140. Have any of you ever bought one from LMC? If so, were you satisfied with it? I just don't want a poor reproduction part, that won't look like the original.
Thanks, Kevin |

Re: Exhaust Manifold
Did you have any issue removing the old manifolds? I have two that I bought on CL, but am worried about twisting off a bolt removing the old manifolds. I've seen in other threads about using a torch to warm up the bolts before backing them out. My problem is I don't have a torch or even have access to one.
The only thing that may work in my favor is that the PO put a crate motor in about five years ago, so it's not like they have 40-years worth of rust. Any thoughts?
