Holy crap these things are impossible to find......engine runs strong, but it looks like both manifolds have been half *ss welded or JB welded at some point.....please help me find these manifolds...or suggestions on an alternative, I really like the 3.8L and it runs great, just trying to fix up a few little problems.

Re: 1985 3.8 L OMC Exhaust Manifolds

can you put a 4.3 mercruiser manifold on? It has the same gasket and bolt pattern, is there a clearance issue with the valve covers....I would just have to figure out how to get from the center riser to the y at the drive.
