A new 1936 Case L- parts needed

So this weekend I picked up a 1936 L. 1 owner tractor, it had been sitting in a barn for the last 30+ years with a broken valve. I can find those, but I'm most worried about finding an exhaust manifold. The one that came with it is in two pieces and may be missing some chunks. Anyone know of a source for manifolds and possibly gaskets? I'll try to add a couple of pictures. Thanks

The L case was quite a popular tractor in the thirties. I'm sure there are still quite a few lying around in bone piles. Keep advertising on this site and I'm sure the parts you need will turn up. I grew up on dads farm running an LA. What a power house they were in the 50's. They were a gas hog, but gallons per acre usage wasn't bad.
 
If all else fails, Rosewood Machine & Tool makes reproduction manifolds. Another thing you can do is use one off an LA; it won't look right, but it will fit and work. That's what I have on my L.
 
I know where there are 2 Ls but don't know details of their condition. They have been sitting outside for many years.
 
I was looking through the stuff that came with the tractor last night, looks like I have everything, I think. As I mentioned, the head had been just sitting on the block and the pushrods/rockerams were off. After I removed the head I got to looking at it closer, is there suppose to be lifters down in the block. I cant really see any, looks like just a hole? should I be able to see the top of the lifters or are they way down in the hole where the pushrods go. They are sort of full of gunk at the moment so I will need to clean it out better. Just wondering what I should be looking for down in there?
