Looking for 500 HP Exhaust Manifolds.
 
To all the Fountain Brotheren...! I am looking for a set of Exhaust manifolds for a carburated 500 HP.

Does anyone have a set from an upgrade or know the best direct replacement with all the correct intake hose fitting holes?

I have a 97 27 Fever that has the chrome Gil exhaust risers and the silent choice option. I would like to keep all that. Just need the manifolds.

Thanks in advance for any response, advice, and contact info.

A '97 HP 500 would have run the Gil manifolds, should be able to find a set in the classifieds or on E-bay. Lots of guys upgrade them to CMI's etc. The Gils were a cast aluminum manifold and last a long time. Should be some out there.

sweet...! I guess I would just do away with the T fitting coming out of the top of the old manifolds and hook up straight to the riser? Did you have the silent choice on your set up? I guess the tails would fit right in.

If I can`t find the manifolds, might be an option.

Thanks

They would fit fine , although I didn't have silent choice. They are boxed up and ready for delevery. A bunch of people are asking about them but no money yet.

Not following..
Since you have the Gil risors, your manifolds should be the Merc/Gils.
BTW, the Gil risors like in the above pic are SS, not chrome.

US1 - You are exactly right. This is a pic of my engine. It does have the Merc/Gil Manifolds, they are cracked from my dumb arse move not taking 2 minutes to pull the plugs from them like I always do in the block ! I didn`t realize they were SS. They almost look too shiny.
