95 LT1 Exhaust manifold source?
Hi All
Has anyone had to replace your LT1 exhaust manifold? Where did you buy a stock replacement one from? I have looked around and it almost seems I may have to buy it from the dealership. I really do not want to install headers and would like to stay with the oem manifolds.

I might consider a Wanted To Buy in the parts section. You might want to be sure and match the manifold casting information. A manifold from a '96 would require the use of a gasket/seal to fit the manifold to the convertor and properly seal it. '95 I believe still just had the ball seal with no gasket/seal.

I would think there would be many that have these on a shelf because they did headers. I wouldn't be afraid of a used manifold. You might need to be concerned maybe with having to use a "spreader" to get the bolts to cylinder head started but that's pretty easily overcome.

If the seal/gasket didn't fall out or if you didn't make an effort to remove it you would never have known. I believe that all '96 production had the seal/gasket.

PS I forget to add I removed the passenger manifold as I had to drill out a broken flange stud and replaced the other 2 studs also. I don't remember seeing anything like the seal shown on Rockauto while working on it. But it could be there as I also wasn't looking for it.
