Wanted, 4.3L Exhast manifold

[FULL-THROTTLE]

HELLLLP, (1985 Diplomat with a 262 4.3L V6) I just found a crack in the left (as you are facing aft)side exhaust manifold It's not to bad but I need to replace it soon. If anyone has one or knows where I can get one please let me know.
The dealer down the street wants $175.00

Thanks,

Can it be repaired?

Sometimes they can weld them, can't they? http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

It is a Merc system.
I am checking on possibly having it welded, if it works I will let you know.

Thanks,

Try NAPA,West marine or go2marine.com,believe it or not they have a huge catalog of marine parts, they can get aftermarket ones that are cheaper and still do the job.Also ebay or there are some boat salvage yards on line too.
