Is changing the exhaust manifold a tough job? My mechanic just replaced head gasket and water pump and now this needs replacement.

Any tricks? what would I need?

Thanks

 

A new exhaust manifold for one.If its the 2.7 or 22r its a joke.Just use a lot of brake away on the bolts the night before you try this.Its a pain because everything your taking of is rusted on.If its a 3.0 or 3.4 its even a bigger pain.Good luck.Becareful buying one from the junk yard it might be cracked like the one you already have.

 

it is 22r motor.

 

Pat, where you located?
I have a spare manifold that came off my 86 22RE... should work, right?
