5.0l exhaust manifold Mercruiser interchangeability

[carlos515]

Are the exhaust manifolds interchangeable on 2000 and 1986 5.0l Mercruiser engines?

If you mean will they fit the engines ,Yes
You cannot interchange wet with dry exaust manifolds and risers though

Ayuh,...... Maybe,..... Which ones,..??..??

I am looking at picking up a 5.0l that has a cracked block for parts. The manifolds seem to be wet joint in good shape. My Motor is a 1986 and the donor motor is the 2000 .

So you wany to buy a broken freeze busted block for the most likely broken feeze busted manifolds?

Your 1986 motor is an early 1-piece RMS block with flat tappet cam and the 2000 motor is a roller motor with vortec heads.

What are you trying to do?

 

[carlos515]

Salvage the manifolds , starter , carb and ignition.
Just finished building my 86 but need a starter and exhaust manifolds.

 

[Scott Danforth]

But new manifolds and starter

Ya I think your right. The way you put it makes sense. Just thought to save a buck.
