When I longblocked my 89 OMC 5.8L a couple of years ago, I noticed that there were no exhaust manifolds available. I'm thinking of using my boat in salt water on week long vacations more in the coming years.

What is the work around to replacing the manifolds in these engines? Last summer I ran into the fuel pump issue. At least I was able to get something that worked.

Ayuh,... Search for manifolds that'll fit a Ford small block,...

Then hope ya can find risers that'll fit the manifold, 'n somewhat line up, 'n fit yer drives connections...
You can expect to find direct angles, lengths, 'n diameters...

After that, ya just gotta figure out if there's mounting hoes where ya need 'em, or how to mount the accessories that don't have holes to go to...
