    Manifold & Risers no longer available

    I am all for making a bracket. What is considered the "Volvo standard elbow"? This is the best I can do on short notice, the riser goes into a 90 deg elbow to the exhaust tube.

    The computer case bolts onto the starboard riser.

    Manifold & Risers no longer available

    Yes, it's a Ford 302. Thanks to all for the suggestions. I'll have a look around. I was just googling the VP part #s which wasn't working.

    Manifold & Risers no longer available

    Yes. It would run for a few secs on water, then stall. The mating surfaces between riser and manifold were rusty. I filed them down and got new gaskets. Ran the engine for 20 mins to get it up to temp, ran fine.

    Manifold & Risers no longer available

    I have a '94 5.0 Fi engine with aging risers and manifolds that will eventually / soon need to be replaced. I have looked at many sites, and don't see any available for my engine. Suggestions on what to do?

    Exhaust Riser?

    It was only for about one minute. I had removed the fresh water pump, recirculating pump, alt, power steering. The engine hadn't been run in five years, and it needed both pumps replaced. One of the bolts holding the recirculating pump in place had broken, and I had my mech use his oxy torch...

    Here is the manifold before and after. Took about two hours to do.

    Did you put any high temp paint on them?

    Exhaust Riser?

    Well, ya just had to go and ask that question. :) I took the rubber boots off, and some rusted pieces fell off, but not too bad.

    A before and after of the riser. Will work on the manifolds tomorrow.

    Exhaust Riser?

    Using a not so "large bastard file". Not through the putting/pitting yet. The starboard side was much worse.

    Exhaust Riser?

    I pulled the risers and manifolds. As I suspected, I found water in part of the port manifold. The engine mounting surfaces look fine. The riser mating surfaces don't look too bad. I will try cleaning them up and getting new gaskets. See attached pics, these are the port side, starboard is...

    Exhaust Riser?

    The engine quits a few seconds after starting.

    Exhaust Riser?

    Yup. Did that when I first bought the boat. I saw water leaking between the riser and the manifold. The manifolds were practically welded to the block had to hit them fairly hard to get them off. To clarify, I did have it running, not for long, w/o water. Worked fine. Only ran into a...
