    New Exhaust Manifold Arrived

    IIRC early years used 3/8 and later 9/16. So yes you will probably need to enlarge the hole in the intake

    Slant 6 intake/exhaust manifold bolts

    I think the two small ones are 5/16, I got those at Ace, but had to cut the threads longer. The 3/8 one is a stud with a washer nut on top. I think I cut the head off a bolt and threaded it to make that one. Your manifold probably came with 3/8 for the exhaust flange. I drilled and tapped...

    How do I fix a cracked exhaust manifold on my 6 cylinder 225 engine?

    Valid point. No doubt about it - If you can get an original in good condition it's probably your best option. But they are getting harder to find, and it's not a light piece if you've got to pay shipping. Appearance wise the China casting looks good (dimensions, thickness, no obvious defects...

    Correct thread sealant

    I just put my manifold studs in the slant head with Permatex High Temp Thread Sealant. Not running yet so can't say how well it works. I saw really small tubes in store, but ordered larger one online from Advance...

    What do I do with this?

    That's just nasty. Are the pipes even round? Looks like they are crushed. I don't know much about exhaust design, but ain't flow kinda important? I do know the alphabet OK, and I dont see an 'X' there.
