Hello, haven't been on here in a long time, ready to get back working on my car again. I want to dump the headers and switch to HO manifolds. I have the 350 engine, and was wondering what exhaust manifolds would be best. thanks..

D-port Long Branch manifolds from Ram Air Restorations.

I agree.

Wow, with the ceramic coating, that's quite an investment...

IMHO - Worth the investment.

The price for ceramic coating has gone up a bit. But in the past, he didn't mention the port matching to blueprint.

Years ago I got the old repop long branch from classic ind and I painted them with high temp manifold paint. Been happy with them. My car is a driver, not a super show car.

OK, thanks for the info on the manifolds. now will have to check on how much change I have.. Not sure if I will do the ceramic tho, it is a little more spendy, right now I'm going to pull the tranny and go through it, needs new seals, leaks, then I picked up a posi rear end that I will install. would like to do the exhaust system, then a paint job, ( not sure what color) and the wife says we need wheels and tires.. will start this after the holidays.. not after a show car, but still want it nice looking...

I bought a set from RARE about six years ago. They ran a two day special over Christmas-eve/Christmas for free ceramic coating.

Mine still look brand new, although others have complained that the coating did not stop rust from forming on theirs.

I only mention this because Christmas is right around the corner... I did not pay any attention whether they have ran the same special in subsequent years. I bought them off Epay where they seem to have had a slightly lower price than direct from their website. May have had free shipping too, but I don't remember that for sure.

They look great under the hood, but you really need to look hard to even notice them.
