Olds 350-455 exhaust manifolds.
« on: May 16, 2023, 10:03:53 AM »
I could use some new exhaust manifolds for my jets, but I?m only finding 455 manifolds,  I thought olds used the same manifolds for both, but I?m not sure.. anyone out there know the diff?     I know chev and fords use different ones for there big blocks and small blocks.

I am thinking the 350 & 455 take the same exhaust manifolds.

Although they are similar design in that the center two ports are Siamese, they are different.

 Never seen Marine manifolds just for 350 Olds.
 The ones I have seen are listed 350-455
 455 gaskets and heads are not all the same.
 The Marine manifolds use the larger port gaskets.
I like the Remflex ones they work great on  surfaces
that are not perfect.

 The smaller port gasket might work better on a 350 head.

Yes. That is the difference on exhaust.   Same manifolds, diff gasket. Now I just need to find a bell housing. Same problem, all I?m finding is for 455. But I think there the same also. I need to find a Oldsmobile man who can give me the advice I need.    Anyone?

       Same bell housing . The engine block on the 350 is a little shorter than the 455
