a guy brought an exhaust manifold into Harolds shop yesterday to get it welded.
it was an exhaust manifold off a '64 Ford. 429 ci. the wild thing about it was, it was a ...cast iron...long tube header...they came stock only on the '63-'64 429s.this thing must have weighed 50# (just 1)
someone, for some reason, ground a hole in the top of the rear tube...:huh:
Harold recomended he take it to the machine shop we use. they weld cracked heads and manifolds.:thumbsup:
i should have gotten a pic. :(

Sure that wasn't a 427 header? I don't think they came out with the 429 until 69 or 70.......
