Title: 1968 - 1970 Cobra Jet Exhaust Manifolds
Post by: Coralsnake on October 31, 2024, 06:48:48 AM

1968 1969 and 1970 428 CJ exhaust manifolds are interchangeable,  but are not the same!

Here are some originals for sale

Here are the reproductions, notice the shape of the shorter manifold differs significantly. Also note they have a date code .

Full size Fords and Mercurys are totally different as far as structure from the much smaller Shelby Mustangs. None of the earlier manifolds fit or work.
