Hello all,

Does anyone have a complete parts list of everything needed to convert from the one piece cast iron exhaust manifolds to the two piece? I see plenty of kits with the manifolds and risers, but it seems like more is needed to get it completely connected. I am not wanting to go with the dry joint "new" style. It is a 1997 4.3, serial #0K030643.

Thanks in advance,

I have the same motor, switching to the two piece exhaust as well. I bought the kit from marinewholesale.com. But you have to add an additional upper exhaust bellows and a 90 degree elbow. Not good at pulling diagrams and such but you should have a manifold, a riser, bellows, elbow, bellows into the y pipe. I found the elbows on eBay for a great deal, there are more on there just make sure it is the right part.

Excellent. That is the info I was looking for. Do you have the part number or ebay link to the correct elbow?

Thanks!
