Update M manifold.

Changed it out this afternoon. Went so good it's scary! About 30 minutes total, no broken studs. Soaked em a couple of days with PB Blaster and ran the engine about 10 minutes. Took em right off feathering an impact wrench. No more muff wobble.

Now take the old manifold, cut the pipe off 1/2 inch above the manifold. Then sawsall that pipe lengthwise into the manifold and pull it out of there. Get you plumber buddy to tap it with a 2 inch NPT and you have a great manifold to sell.
Might as well sandblast it and polish with 40 grit flap wheel and paint with quanta "castblast" for a pro job.

Gordo, the threads are so bad that you can just pull it out by hand. Tried a new pipe that that was a waste of money.
