i like the dutra duels setup but being in high school and on a limited budget i decided to put a set of unused but old clifford headers on my car. well that plan went south after i got headers for the earlier body style that dont fit. coulda made them fit but did not feel like putting in the work at the time.my solution? split the manifold!

the spout is off of a 63 imperial passenger manifold

That all looks real cool! Welding on cast iron is supposedly a special art, especially old cast iron that has had the carbon cooked out of it. . Did you do that yourself?

So, how did your Granpa weld them up? I can't tell from the pictures, are they silver soldered, welded, or what? Nice job, very clean considering it's an old manifold.
