DODGE cast iron Manifold repair

Customer asked if we could fix the manifolds for his 340 Dart.

Not only were the tabs broken off one manifold, the second manifold had some nasty cracks in it.

We started on the cracked one first. Drilled holes at the end of the crack and ground out the cracks so the brazing material would have a place to fill the crack.

Because the manifold was cast iron, we couldn't use regular brazing rods. So by using a special brazing rod, we were able to fill in the crack and holes.

Here is the completed right side manifold. We were able to weld the broken off bolt hole mounts on this side.
