im new to the forum and know its a shot in the dark to say the least but cant hurt. anyways, I have an old 642 bobcat with the ford gasser that NEEDS an exhaust manifold. I've done everything in my power to find even a used manifold thats in one piece with no luck. I figure forums will be my only chance before having to build my own abomination. mine turned into a jigsaw puzzle i keep piecing back together but its finally toast. hoping someone might have a parts machine with usable one forsale. any insight/leads would be greatly appreciated

I know nothing about these ,but is there a manf. of tube headers that made them for this engine?? could that be a answer to your problem, as they can be modified being just tubing.
I believe that is basically the same engine as the European Ford Kent engine. It may also cross over to an older Ford Escort.
Look up “Ford Kent engine” online and you may be able to find something.
like suggested above I was thinking of buying cheap headers for European escort and modifying. but come to find not so cheap. I rebuilt engine years ago with parts from i believe was Pegasus racing as they do alot of old escort parts. couldn't justify buying anything from bobcat as they make the parts from gold it seems. Will definitely check out Snyder parts, really appreciate the suggestions thank you
