J15 exhaust manifold

[burrito213]

i heard that MG or MGB has exhaust manifolds that will fit the datsun/nissan J15 engine?....

 

my manifold isnt too bad but if i pull the exhaust im out a gasket and because of the age may possible break the exhaust...

 

or is there a place that has j15 exhaust mani's?

The MGB manifold won't fit a 320. Might fit a 410 or a RHD vehicle, but not a LHD with a solid steering tube. In fact the J13 manifold from a 520 probably doesn't fit in a 320 either (larger diameter)- pretty much need to use the original E1 manifold (it bolts right up to the J-series). And yes, the E1 manifold is kind of weak. As far as gaskets the MGB one works fine in E1, J13, J15, J16 etc.

 

If you got a 520 or a forklift mani on that J15 and it actually fit, let me know, because I was going to have my E1 manifold welded up (it's cracked at the collector) to put on my J16 for my 320 because eyeball said the J13 manifold wouldn't clear the steering. But I could be wrong.

I'll take pictures and show what I have...

 

I know I have aftermarket stuff because I have a j15 engine and a floor shift transmission. Someone took the column shift out before I purchased my truck
