Roger, I just finished installing new manifolds with Mr. Gasket
Copperseal exhaust gaskets. They are .043 solid copper with embossed
O-ring design that looks almost like some of the old O rings on some of
the 50's rods I played with. I don't have enough miles on them yet to
give any long term results but, they cured a pitted block from a PO
cracked manifold.

Arch,
While looking at your pics, a thought came to me. Dangerous, I know.
With
the problems with exhaust manifolds on this engine, I remembered that
during
my old hot rodding days, the engine in my '52 Chevy had inserts between
the
heads and exhaust manifold. Thin metal tubes, similar to napkin rings.
Seems this would work to help keep from blowing gaskets or even if used
without gaskets to help prevent potential leaks.
Any thoughts, ideas, on this?
