I was able to get a forum member to braze the exhaust manifold for me, but it was definitely a little complicated with that shared 4-5 cylinder port. Would have made more sense to go your way. I had fun with the intake, i made a complicated off angle cut on a 617 intake and slid the factory end down so i would have all the same port provisions, came out pretty neat

heres how the exhaust turned out (its missing one bolt hole that got brazed on) you can see how the manifold is arranged. I cant recall what source vehicle this was out of, but probably an 83 300D

and intake, I made this cut in order to keep the same air cleaner brackets, alda line, and to be able to tap for boost using the casting boss from the missing automatic transmission bolt hole
It almost met up 100% for welding, but we needed to add a moon shaped sliver to the back side

Some good looking welds there.

I used silica bronz rod and a tig welder. (Preheated the manifold slow cooling while tapping on it)
What ever the exhaust manifold is made of it puddled very nicely, was just like welding steal. No issues after 80+K miles on it. |

Welding really is the way to go.
What sort of work had to be done for the exhaust pipe to fit the manifold? (apologies if terminology is off... not my area)

If you modify 300D manifolds, none. Bolts on like stock. (Although clearly you need a turbo engine downpipe)

Down-pipe, that’s the part I was referring to.
