Re: [FWDLK] Need LH Exhaust Manifold for 57 Desoto 325 - 1634445

[Bill Amberger <Magnumguy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I might have one on a parts car, but not sure I can get to it anymore.

 

Let  me know privately if you cannot find one. YOu might try Murray Park in Tiffin Ohio.

  Just to pick nits, if this is a stock car, and it has a 325, it is technically not a DeSoto.  It is a Firesweep.

  Dodge frame, chassis, and running gear.  This is especially true of the engine.  That is ALL Dodge.

  Asking for a 57 DeSoto manifold will get you a completely different critter !

  Sorry to hear of your problem.  You would think a transporter would use better sense than that.  :-P
