That's the dump pipe? Looks like you will need a pipe that has been flared & has a slip over flange that pulls it up onto the end of the dump pipe to seal it. Exhaust shop should be able to do it.
It looks a bit like the ends of the manifolds on my 253 v8 in my Hz pano. The exhaust pipes are flared & have flanges that slip over the pipe, when you do the nuts up on the studs it pulls the pipe onto the manifold nice & tight. Cheers ToranaGuy

Exhaust shop should be able to do it. Arrrr, i thought as much. Thanks for clearing that up, can't say i've ever actually taken any notice of what the stock 'T' front pipe looks like and how it attaches to the dump  \I was thinking i may have to grind the round part [of where the pipe meets to the dump] flat and find a suitable flange and gasket. |

Ahh well, looks like i'm doing away with the stock dump. Having Manta make a mild steel 4" dump for me, should be good to go for the weekend

Bit of an update...
I recently binned the stock cast dump and had Manta make up a 4" mild steel dump pipe for me. It's not too flash and am a little disappointed with the quality, but it does the job. I suppose that's what you get for being a cheapskate haha. A mate of mine spent most of the weekend underneath my car cutting and welding up a 3" exhaust, we're about half way done, with the tailpipe ready to go (being off the shelf for E-Series V8), the muffler is an offset/centre straight through design, hopefully it'll cut back some of the exhaust 'bark'.

Looking good man, great to see the progress. That after market dump pipe should help with top end power too.
Cheers ToranaGuy
