Working on an 8/87 2.6 Raider Auto, the exhaust manifold has been broken, welded once, broke again (all on #4 runner), and is now also broken on #1 runner. Anyone have a good, solid (read:un-repaired) exhaust manifold they wish to get rid of? (See pics)
The Raider is Lady-owned, driven about 80-100 mi per day, she purchased it new...99.999% of life has been ON-road, and has over 245,000 miles on it currently. And she won't part with it for anything, she really wants to fix it. Well, the exhaust is just another fix to do, along with the fact that it overheated a couple days ago...guess you know what that means.
Ypu, pressurized the cooling system to about 14 lbs, let it set for about 20 mins (with full cooling system). Upon removing pressure tester, re-capping system & cranking...dead miss, fresh, wet coolant around exhaust pipe/manifold connection (see white traces in manifold pic), and system had pressurized within 30 seconds run time (from cold).
Time for an Alabama head & good gaskets, head bolts, etc. But would like to replace exhaust manifold if one is available. Thanks for your time in advance.
NOTE: Unlike bigger shops, I ONLY make my money on LABOR, NOT parts mark-up. Besides, this belongs to my next-door neighbor...and I'd not assume make enemies with anyone by doing the "make every penny I can squeeze out of them" deal. So, please don't consider that I will be marking up parts over what I'd pay for them. I actually give people I work for the parts receipts.

This is the Raider I am fixing for the Lady:

Exhaust Manifold on the Raider. Note the repair & crack at rear, the crack in front, and the white residue on the exhaust pipe conection:

And, another view of the Mitsus. Our (the wife's & mine) Quests are in one side of the garage:
