I have a 930 Gas CK that was converted to LP using a century conversion kit.
When the conversion was done the exhaust manifold was broken and a piece welded over the area that connects to the gas intake manifold to the exhaust manifold so that the 2 DO NOT connect.
The exhaust manifolds has now gone bad and I was going to replace it with a new exhaust manifold from a diesel that I all ready have.
I know the mounting holes are different between a gas and diesel manifold and I know the diesel has a different pattern for the manifold hold down studs.
I was planning on drilling new holes in the Diesel manifold and making the slight alterations to make the diesel manifold work.
What I didn’t realize is the diesel manifold gaskets were different than the gas.
It seems the diesel manifold set has a larger opening for the air intake than what is on a gas tractor.
So where can I get a set of gas manifold gaskets for a 930 CK.
I also need to know if anyone has tried converting a 401 Diesel exhaust manifold to work on a 377 gas and what kind of problems you have encountered.
My fear is I wont have the necessary clearance between the diesel exhaust manifold and the old gas intake manifold.
(It appears the gas exhaust manifold is smaller than the diesel exhaust manifold)
I don’t want to spend the $80-90 for a set of case manifold gaskets for a 377 gas to only find out the diesel manifold wont work
I can not find an after market set of manifold gaskets for 377 gas.
Will I be forced to pay Case prices for a set of manifold gaskets to make this work, if it can be made to work??
Any suggestions are welcome
