exhaust manifolds question

[nachoman]

I have a 65 200 mustang that needs 1) a new head pipe and 2) a new exhaust manifold. The old manifold is cracking and is warped. I know of a place down the road where I can get a new manifold off the shelf for a very good price, but it is a 2" outlet and my old was 1 3/4". I want to keep this car mostly stock (no headers). I assume the 2" outlet will mate to the engine just fine, but what about to the exhaust pipe? Am I going to have to have a custom pipe made to adapt the 2" manifold to the 1 3/4 system, or is there some kind of easy flange reducer that i can use?

thanks in advance,
kevin

Thanks!

You'll just need the headpipe flared a bit, and get the correct donut. It's not a huge deal. I made the headpipe on mine detachable from the rest of the exhaust just for such an occasion (it has served me well too) but most shops don't do that unless you ask.

the manifold I was looking at is a 1.75" outlet. So I bought it

LDGn63, Check out www.restoremustang.com/exhaust-manifold website for a couple of different stock exhaust manifolds. I'm not exactly sure of their sizes. Good Luck!
