zeitgeist57 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 How much would it be to have 1 crack in a cast iron exhaust manifold welded? I'm looking at getting a cheap set of EFI Ford manifolds for the 300ci inline-6...they bolt in place of the stock and very restrictive log-type exhaust manifold I currently have. However, as this thread implies, one of the pair may be cracked. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 If its cracked, it will probably crack again. My old turbo manifold cracked, i had it welded, and it split in a different spot. Repeat this about 4 times before i said fuck it and bought a different mani. Deits welding in lewis center charges 75 an hr. just for an idea.

Dave1647545494 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 columbus col-weld if its cast iron it really needs to be heated in an oven to be properly welded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
