Looking for an exhaust manifold

[berth control]

So my engine has a bad exhaust manifold, it's cracked:smt021

I called and the mercruiser dealers can get them (cast iron, not aluminum), but they are $1300:smt021

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions, knows of a guy that may have used ones, off-brand I could look at, ect. I can't find anything online and the local parts guys can't find a cheaper alternative either :smt021

The engine is a 1985 170 mercruiser 4-cylinder :smt021

Is it one of these? They don't say 170 4cyl, just 4 cyl but maybe you know for sure

Ebasicpower.com has always had nearly everything I've needed, sometimes you just need to call them

As I just told Bobby on his "Engine Toasted" thread.
Call 360-805-5320 Walt. He has all sorts of engines/packages and parts in 3 huge warehouses.
He'll save you $$$

Thanks for the links guys - Mine is for the 3.7 liter, they have the manifold on that page towards the bottom, it's over a thousand bucks from them too:smt021

Thanks for the info Todd - I'll call him right now:thumbsup:

Just called this guy - he's a little odd, but I like him :lol:

He is going to check for me and see what he's got in the barns.

I've met him. He is a great guy. Good Luck. He has so much stuff it may take him a day or two to look for it but he's honest.

Good luck.
