How to Install Manifold Studs

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now we're going to install exhaust manifolds. This application is not a performance application. This is a very high performance motor, it's real cool, it's real cheap. It's 350 horse, but our customer's not interested in the performance, he's interested in dependability and cost effectiveness. So we bought late model cast iron exhaust manifolds that had 02 sensor bungs already installed. There's other varieties of things you can do. You can buy block hugger headers, which are very inefficient, and I don't like the way they look. I like this kind of a stock look. Nobody makes a header to put a Chevy small block in a T-Bird, so just using these stock cast iron manifolds they fit in there clean on this job."
