hello, all, hope all is well. digging deeper into my project, here are the exhaust manifolds. i dont see any signs of water intrusion like rust or anything, but they are significantly rusted, probably causing over heating, and possibly why there is no thermostat in the t-stat housing. they dont make these one piece manifolds anymore, so i guess i have to switch to the 2 piece ones? i found these (newer pics) on marketplace. my question is has anyone switched over from 1 piece to 2 piece? and are these the corect ones? my one piece manifolds are oval at the ends, going into the rubber boot, but these 2 piece manifolds look circle at the boot. any thoughts or guidance?
