Putting out an offer

[Pebcak]

To everyone that will be at the Truck Show,

If anyone wants to go to Row 52 and look at the pick n pulls in the Dallas, Ft. Worth and Grapevine areas. If there is anything that people are looking for I can look around on the next few visits before September.

I'll do my best to accommodate any requests. If it's an engine or a full bed I won't be able to manage that. Anything else I think I can handle.

Let me know here or on Row52.com to the username: DATurner2nd

I can work out the details of payment when the time comes.

Wow! That's quite an offer.

Wow! That's quite an offer.

I would love an OEM exhaust manifold for the 300 engine from a F600. This is referred to as the Heavy Duty exhaust manifold. The exhaust exits straight down [not rearward at an angle] and the opening is 2 1/2".

For illustrative purposes...

Also note there are two versions. One with 3 bolts attaching it to the intake like the light duty manifold, and one with 4 bolts joining the manifold and exhaust. If it is the 4 bolt version then the matching intake is needed or else it cannot be used. I’ve been trying to find this part for David for a couple of years and no luck...

You guys are starting to understand me!

I'm heading to the Pick N Pulls at 7 AM tomorrow so I'll keep an eye out for this. I'll see if I can match the pictures..

I'm assuming but I want to clarify, am I looking for the 3 bolt version correct?

First of all thanks for helping with the search. Reproductions are available but are known to have issues with cracking 😬 and they are not exactly inexpensive.

First issue is to recognize a HD from an ordinary 300 manifold. The regular one exits at about a 45* rear angle, has a heat flapper, and the head pipe mounts on 2 studs. It looks like this:

The HD manifold exits almost straight down. It has no heat flapper, and the head pipe mounts with a 3 bolt flange (not to be confused with the number of bolts that join the intake and exhaust manifolds). This is what David wants and it looks like this:

The 3 vs. 4 bolt problem is with the intake to exhaust mating. If you find one with 3 bolts, David can use his existing intake manifold. If it is the odd 4 bolt variety, then he will need BOTH manifolds. Here is a picture of the joint I am talking about. This is a 3 bolt HD:

Clear as mud? Hopefully the pictures will help. The candidates will be late 60’s through 70’s F600/F700, but I always check all 300 straight six trucks just in case someone swapped one in.

Jonathan,

I just now found that you had answered this [so very well!!!] for me. Thank you!

Maybe a good example of not getting notified because the answer wasn't to your post? Nabble doesn't work like many other forums.

I've been looking but nothing yet. So far most of them have been stripped down to almost nothing.
