Exhaust Manifolds for F8 Flathead Engine

[Jim Price]

When I received my truck there was no engine, just a radiator and a transmission. Soooo, I went out and bought myself a nice old flathead V-8 with 81 A on the heads and counted my blessings that I had been able to find a nice old engine that matched the age of my truck.

However, as time went on and I became more familiar with my F8, I realized that the manifolds that were on the engine were for exhausting out through the right side of the frame not the left side.

Welll, thought I, that should be easy to fix; we'll just have a custom exhaust pipe made. After considering the space limitations, it appears that that may not be either possible or an easy fit!

Sooo, the manifolds I have cannot be reversed, that is, switched from one side to the other. Does anyone out there know where I can get a set of manifolds that will match that originally in place on a F8? Or, have any suggestions as how I can remedy this situation?

Any help on this will be most appreciated!

Regards,
Jim
