Re: 505 exhaust manifold gaskets

When your mechanic says that the "front and rear suspension" needs to be
released to do this manifold job, he may mean the front and rear hangars for
the exhaust system. That may be necessary, but it seems to me that there
should be a way to disconnect themanifold from the exhaust pipe. I'm a
4-cylinder guy, so I don't have the dual manifold setup you have to deal
with. On the 4-cyls, there is a flange with bolts at the manifold.
Disconnected the manifold comes off with only a little difficulty, again
assuming no rusty nuts. I almost bought a v6, but didn't look hard enough to
know about the geometry for the exhaust system to be of more help.
