Hello, I am thinking of doing a center rise manifold conversion to mt 1980 log style manifolds mine juat recently cracked when I had it running on the hose. My wife turned the hot water on when I jad the boat running, anyhow looking to upgrade to the newer style and looking for any tips or parts list ideas thoughts and such. Thank you.

All the 5.0 and 5.7 use the same manifolds and risers. You'll need those bits, the gasket between them, 2 aluminum elbows, the rubber exhaust hoses that connects the risers and elbows to your exhaust outlet pipe, and 16 band clamps 4 for each hose.
Hold on I will add some pics. be right back...

Ok, I didnt see those elbows everywhere I looked, because I have a y pipe and will need those elbows to hook back up to it. Unless I just delete the y pipe and run thru hull ? Oh also my alternator bolts to my port side amd the power steering below. And in the back starboard side the starter solenoid bolts to that manifold underneath . And my thermostat has 8 hoses 6 go to the exhaust manifolds? I think thats only differences I see.
Thank you.
