if you have any Australian connections you might be able to find a set of Ford 351C marine exhaust manifolds. In Australia that engine was and still is quite popular amoung the old ski boat crowd.

Or have a set of adapter plates fabricated that could adapt to something close. I would think a good machinist could come up with adapter flanges.

Thanks Teamseal, I actually bought a new set of manifolds from AU, they are on the small side for my 351 which will actually be a 408 when done. Secondary where it meets the riser is only 2 1/8” dia and while I went w the smaller 195 heads to maintain low-mid velocity I feel like I may be cutting myself short although I’m no engine guru by any means…..

Sure is, out side Lindy's Landing. Family has been going there sine I believe 1970. So glad he didn't toss those exhaust, I was thinking of buying them just to keep him from doing that

Grew up going to Riverland back when they used to race there. 351C exhaust are like white unicorns and understandably so………not the best jet application.

If you get hung up and these are no good, the 351 is fairly close to a big block Chevy, We had started to make some spacers to match a BBC and 351, was not that uncommon back in the day to see something like this. My Dad and Brother have a 69 Sanger with a Boss 429, the boat was built with this engine and no one was making marine gear in 69' for a Boss9 Hemi, it ran Nicson BBC exhausts with an aluminum spacer between that matted up the ports.
