Hello,

I don't know if the exhaust manifold of the 407 is the same as the 409, or anyway if a 409's 318 ci manifold can be fitted to the 407's 313 ci engine, but if it is, I have some spares.

I broke it and repaired it and I bought 2 more before we realized that the exhaust pipe coming down from the manifold was too short and it bumped on the chassis at every blip of the throttle, pulling on the red-hot manifold and making it break easily.... a spacer cured this problem.

All the best

Stefano
