Default Custom Exhaust Manifold

Anyone know a place that can fab one up for me? The motor I'm building is going to need one. I may bolt it on to the current motor and run 8-10psi on it which is all the stock internals can hold, until the other motor is finished at least.

I've found out we can bolt on the old Escort EXP manifold with the IHI's, but I would have to make a ghetto bracket for the slave cylinder because of turbo clearance issues with the IHI. I may still go that route depending on prices. I'm looking at around $160 for a used cast iron turbo manifold off an 84-85 Escort/Escort EXP turbo. Anyone have some ideas?

Check ebay .. I punched in a quick search for escort exhaust manifolds when I was looking for exhaust cutouts and found a ton of them.

You can find them all over for Escorts on E-bay, but that's for regular manifolds (which I already have a 4-2-1 header on there), or for the ZX2 which is a completely different engine and bolt pattern on the exhaust. I need a turbo one The RS manifold from europe hits our radiators meaning I would have to move my radiator and that's much more than I want to do, trying to keep the car very stock looking.

Thanks for the # slobra I'll see what kind of prices they will give me.

And stangonline, if you haven't anything good to say or suggest. I would like to impose that you stay out of my threads with your "mad tyte l33t commentz yo!"

The Ebay manifold looks like a winner.
