- '79 CJ5, 258 I6, T150 w/Dana20, Dana30 front and AMC20 rear. My first Jeep! I'm looking forward to doing some minor upgrades and restoration while enjoying the ride.
I need to know if the 1980-90 exhaust manifolds for the 258 will fit the earlier models. Mine is a '79 and from there down the exhaust manifold has that spot under the carburetor where the intake and exhaust bolt together. Since mine has a header right now there is a flat plate of steel bolted under the carb and some carb linkage bolted to two of those bottom bolts. I would love to be able to use the later model exhaust manifold as it does not bolt to the intake manifold and I can keep things the way they are.
So does anyone know for sure if the later exhaust manifolds are useable on the earlier models?
Thanks
