I have a mid 1970's 888 ford 302. Runs fine but the exhaust manifolds are both cracked. Is there and alternative to the old style box manifold or do I just stick with those? Also is there an after market one available. I don't have the money right now to pay full price on new ones and would like to get the boat on the water this year.

The center riser conversion kit is the best option for you. I got my kit from ebasicpower.com. However it isn't cheap. The kit comes with new hoses, clamps, thermostat, etc so there's no lose ends. unless you can trust someused manifolds from Ebay, I'd buy them new.
