wrong exhaust manifold?

ryanapfel · Sep 25, 2012

My exhaust pipe doesnt fit up to my passanger side exhaust manifold correctly. It seems like the flanged end of the pipe is too small for the mouth of the manifold. Maybe its the wrong manifold?(i just bought the bronco recently and it had alot of jerry riggings) here's some pics. Also, the last pic shows the gasket that goes in between. It fits flush. Shouldnt it fit inside the manifold part way? Thanks for the help in advance

By the way, everything fits correctly on the driver side which makes me lean tword a manifold problem rather then the pipe itself

My 83 didn't use gaskets, just a flush fit between the exhaust pipe and the manifold. Not sure about the 88.

Good luck,

Hey Ryan,

That gasket is not for that manifold. Check the diameter of the opposite manifold. I think you have miss-matched 5.7 and 5.0 manifolds.

You can also check for a part number stamped or cast in the maniford.

the part number is 1483 stamped on it. seems right. i got a new gasket set for the manifold to engine, and it came with those gaskets too. it fit the driver side so i figured it was supposed to go in there.

Hey ryan,

If you got an exhaust gasket set and those ****** gaskets came with it, it leads me to believe more those are the wrong manifolds for the engine.

The 1483 means nothing.

Go to: http://www.stevensparts.com/FORD%20EXHAUST%20MANIFOLD.htm Scroll down to 351W, 1483R is a replacement casting number for the right exhaust manifold.
