79 250 integrated head exhaust manifold crack

I have noticed that I have a cracked exhaust manifold for my 79 250 inline 6 with the integrated head. I have searched online, and can not find anything for a replacement. I can find plenty for the NON integrated. Can anyone help on where I can find one? Thanks.

Depending on the cracks you can use a certain type of arc welding rod to fix the issue, but you have to remove the head.

As for the non integrated it is what people want.

Welding may be my only fix since a replacement exhaust manifold seems to be non existent.

For the weld, since it's the exhaust manifold is cracked, do I need to remove the head? Should I be able to disconnect the exhaust manifold from underneath the integrated head?

Thanks.

Not sure. I do know you have to drill holes at the end of the cracks, and open the crack up with a grinder to allow penetration.

Also it depends on how are where the crack is situated.

I "repaired" a Toyota manifold one time with a regular mig welder long enough to trade the truck in. It wasn't so bad, and you can cut a arc welding stick down to help with the job.

Also I heard preheating the manifold or cast metal helps, and keep heat on it as it cools. I used MAP gas.
