I replaced my exhaust manifold years ago with a new stock one. While it
wasn't the easiest job in the world, I didn't have to undo the engine
mounts. If I'm remembering correctly, I removed the intake manifold for a
little more manuvering room. It's a tight fit, but it does work.

Hoon,
The BADROC corral may have a spare (if a '68 will match). I'll check
tonight. All it'll cost is two beers (I'm all out).
>From what I remember, it's not easy to just pull or drop the manifold. I
think
you have to unbolt the motor mounts and move the engine enough for the
manifold
to clear the frame. A how-to session at CalSpeed's BBQ this weekend? ;>
