    1968 Restoration: Fan shroud, Fan, AC compressor

    Joeymaimi, Is it it R12 or R134? You can send me an email at leftyguitar66 at hotmail dot com Cougar CJ, Thanks for the tip on the fan. I've been having a bit challenge finding a good quality fan shroud. I bought one a while back (reproduction) and the quality was pretty poor...had to send it back.

    1968 302 4V exhaust manifolds ??

    I received some 351W "poor man's HiPo" manifolds last week. I compared them the the stock 302 manifolds from my car. The bolt patterns to the head are nearly identical so that is cool. However, there are some signficant differences: Driver's side manifold is fairly different: 1. The drivers...

    1968 302 4V exhaust manifolds ??

    Very cool Scott...I dig that year XR7! My GT/CS is a J code (302 4V). The heads "non-smog" versions. I've got factory AC, factory power steering and a factory C4 auto trans. I'm guessing that these manifolds will bolt right onto the heads and the engine (with manifolds) will drop right in with...

    1968 302 4V exhaust manifolds ??

    Cool thanks Ron. I tried the grab these but I was out bid. It turns out that he sold me another set he had, so I got lucky. My engine is out of the car getting rebuilt right now. Once these manifolds arrive, we're going to assembly a dummy 302 block+heads we have sitting around, and also put...

    1968 302 4V exhaust manifolds ??

    Awesome Rob. You are shedding a lot light for me on perhaps going with headers. Are there any fit/interference issues with either of these other than having the adjust where the exhaust pipes tie in? -Dave

    1968 302 4V exhaust manifolds ??

    Thanks Scott. Do you know if these will drop in directly with no fit issues at the head or otherwise? Are these C9OE-9430-B, passenger side and DOOE-9431-B driver side? -Dave

    1968 302 4V exhaust manifolds ??

    Yeah I've heard about those and thought perhaps they might work. My experience with headers is has been that they almost always leak. Is this the case with the Tri-Ys? Who makes these? Any clearance issues with these? Also, I was hoping to get some castings that look stock in order to preserve...

    1968 302 4V exhaust manifolds ??

    Hey there experts! I am working on an engine restoration of my '68 GTCS. It's a 302 4V. The process is slow but fun! We've done some to the heads to improve flow and I would like to get some exhaust manifolds that have less constriction and allow the motor to breathe a bit better. I know that...
