Living in Canada I normally use antifreeze in engine block and detach the cooling hoses to the manifolds and just drain them, are the manifolds better left drained and dry or should they have antifreeze in them to curb the rust?

Yes the manifolds drained a good stream of water out, replacement prob down the road, but acquiring replacements for the 3.8 are all most impossible to find, not sure if there is a aftermarket replacement that will work, if anyone has done it I would appreciate hearing from them.
tks for info guys
no batwings on the 3.8's. although the 4.3 batwing units might work as a replacement. OSCO makes replacement center riser manifolds for the 3.8 and they're the only aftermarket manifolds that will clear the selectrim engine mounts. Some places (like marinemanifold.com) sell the OSCO center riser conversion as a kit.
