Just found the same deal on a set of 496HO exhaust manifolds to replace my cast hogs.

Thanks, JB
new style has only 2 hoses going to the manifolds makes everything much cleaner all the work is relocating the oil filter and shifter bracket i put them on the transom

Is there a way to incorporate the 496 exhaust if you are running the 4" log extensions between the manifold and the riser? sorry for the hijack

I've seen taller risers, but I'm not sure how much taller they are over standard. I've seen them on Formula cruisers with Captains Call like on my buddy's 350 SS.

cool that they make it but daaammmm that is pricey. better off getting the cast aluminum version of the iron exh for the same price as the 6" riser kit. thanks

just remember; your old t-stat housing is just as rusty as your old manifolds. you may want to check the water passage across the front of your intake too...
