Dodge Dakota exhaust manifolds for a 273

Dad modified the driver side manifold on his 71 Dart . First he cut away the area that hits the power steering an angle cut about the size of a cigarette pack side view with a cutting wheel. Next he flipped the removed piece over and fit it back in place. Next heat it to red and arc weld it back into place. Grind it pretty and you are good to go. No muss no fuss and 2" rear dumps!
