This page is from the Osco website: www.oscomotors.com/
Hopefully it will be of help. This is, of course, the source of all Osco manifolds. You should study the whole site to find what you want. Where you buy it is up to you. Osco seems willing to answer any questions you may have.
Good luck in your search!

Not having any luck with finding an exhaust manifold, Mike.

I have an old radar myself - obviously not installed yet - so any info about your experience would be worthwhile for me, and the site.

Once again thanks Bob, I will wait until I call Gary in the morning and see if he still has the manifold, I am going up to Anacortes to pick up an old "Furuno" 1800 radar, hope it works, Mike.

ALL RIGHT! if there is any other way I can help you with that engine let me know. Back in the early days of this site, if you look, are a fair number of informative stories about my search for the engine and information, along with photos of my complete rebuild. The good old boys in alabama know that engine well!

Hi Bob, wonderful feedback, yes it is /was an "osco", dead as a Dodo, but Gary might have one I will contact him again in the morning, thanks again "Siernuse" Mike.

Hi Mike, I assume you mean the OSCO manifold. You are looking for a FORD OSCO manifold. Try Gary Cooper @ Delphi, near Mobile. very knowledgeable, and had a manifold a year or so ago. 251 6268096 or 251 423 0443.

Captain Clyde's Newporter sites:
and
The Ning site has been given a reprieve. I have transferred my Ning site to the blogspot site and will leave it there. I am keeping my Ning site open as a home for my photos and drawings.
Many of my photos there do not relate to Newporters, but a search through my collection may prove useful for your studies.
My drawings are not accurate in many respects as a result of the PAINT program used to draw them, There is no accurate scale and at best they are only useful to indicate some specific detail. Some are inaccurate because of my poor memory. Use them to help you think, not as a detailed presentation of the subject matter.
If any of you want to start a web site I suggest you remember what has happened to both my Ning site and this site (which is a Ning site) and remember that my Blogspot site is free and Blogspot's owner (Google) has promised to keep it that way.
Clyde's email:
Put 'Newporter' on Subject Line. Email is the best way to contact me. I do not regularly look at this site or its messaging system. Email will get to me post-haste.
