RustyRat4x4 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Looking for an L16 exhaust manifold !!!! (probably not the only one) If you have one you could spare, let me know the price..... My 4x4 could use all the help it can get...:eek::thumbsup: Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 the L20 mainolfd usaully have a good size O ring type outlet. But just a lame design. Being most 4x4 are low rpm vehicles I dont know if it will make that much difference. I like the L16 manifolds but the Y pipe is a little on the small side. But the L16 manifolds are Ezer to take on/off and cleaner set up. Link to comment

But the L16 manifolds are Ezer to take on/off and cleaner set up. Most 4x4 are low RPM vehicles, although it never hurts to clean the mud out of the tires... plus all those extra parts to turn draws away too much power for me @ freeway speeds.. not that the L20 has an abundance of power compared to larger displacement engines( ie: I can drive my small block Chevy up hills with a wiggle of the toe, and I know that's apples to grapefruit).. have to keep getting into secondaries all the time, and I figure that a better breathing engine won't have to work as hard to make the power ( sounds like it's restricted now). I'm Just a motor head looking for improvements..... BTW: I have a stock L20b W/u67 head and a Weber 32/36 for a single-points setup...I know the point's have to go also..already trying to find a solution for that problem Link to comment

Early L20B trucks used an intake/exhaust set up that was bolted together and used hot exhaust to warm the underside of the intake. Can't run one with out the other. Here's a picture of the set up. So check yours. http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/L%20Z%20Heads%20and%20Motors/620headU-67Large.jpg[/img]"] Link to comment

No wonder the carb has a heat shield and a phenolic spacer...as for the intake, I have a spare engine here out of '79 i think, might be an '80... that intake will work if I can find a L16 exhaust manifold Link to comment

'RustyRat' not to keen on the freeway, (speed and steering) Link to comment
RustyRat4x4 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Thought I might as well try this again...any body have a complete L16 or L18 exhaust set up (Both the manifold and down pipe connection). I have a U67 square port head on the truck now. Link to comment
Chris#51EPGraham Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I have an L16 4 into 2 style exhaust manifolds WITH air injector ports @ $30 + shipping. Also have the ribbed 4 into 1 style WITHOUT air inj. ports for same price. Sorry, but I only have one crappy downpipe that wouldn't be worth shipping. Chris at cgr8818021@bluefrog.com Link to comment
RustyRat4x4 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 looking for the non smog style manifolds myself, with down pipe.. Thanks for the offer... trying to be picky, sorry Link to comment
