245 exhaust options

I am about to start a rebuild on a 245 I just acquired. The hood on it has a oval cut out for a vertical muffler. The tractor now has a horizontal exhaust.
I want to change it to a vertical. Question is, do I swap hoods and pace the muffler on the outside of the hood or get the oval muffler and run it through the hood. Question 2: What is the correct elbow the use for using the oval muffler if I go that route?
Thanks to all for the information.
 
be a while since I worked on one,but if I remember correct the early one had the exhaust on the outside of the hood and used the same manifold as the horizontal one except the elbows were different,the latter models with the muffler thru the hood used a different manifold and elbow
 
I'll check on the number and get back to you.
The manifold has a blocking plate on the front end of the manifold to direct the exhaust up through the hood.
