You need some exhaust pipe and a muffler shop to bend it for you so you can make something that might work.You want an exhaust that kind of looks like what you have,not sticking way out and melting the paint off of your hood and with a big as possible pipe matched to the holes in the plate for the head and porting and polishing is where your horsepower comes from.This is way harder than you can imagine,but its possible.You need to make a plate that bolts to the head with holes for the intake and exhaust since you dont have enough bolts to seal the exhaust up real well,you need a plate that is about 1/2 inch thick or even thicker,use an intake and exhaust gasket to lay out your holes and bolt holes,then take it to somebody with a torch or plasma cutter and cut that piece out.Then with longer bolts you could bolt the intake up to the plate,get your bent tubing from the muffler shop and tack it in place with your welder and 6011 rod.Then take the whole thing off,go somewhere that has a MIG welder and weld your exhaust part to the plate with a MIG welder and check it for leaks after you are done by filling it with water and fix any leaks you find.Then after you do all of that,take it to a machine shop that planes heads and have the intake surface and sealing surface planed down flat.After that it will most likely work.Your picture of the zoomies probably wont ever work,but I have been wrong before.Anytime you make an exhaust or intake manifold like that you should have it planed flat so it will seal.Of course if you do this you want to have the sealing surface on your head clean as well.If you dont get it planed down it will blow the exhaust gasket probably and you will get tired of replacing it.By the time you do all of that it will be quicker and probably cheaper to just replace your wore out manifold with a good used one from somewhere,and probably lots less problems.If the old one lasted 60 years or more a good used one should last a long time.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
