I have one
It had one crack which I had professionally repaired at a welding shop.
I was going to put in on my Coupe GT. But with a 3B coming to displace the MC-1 that was for my 4ksq, the MC-1 will go into my Coupe GT instead.
Due to the expense of having the thing welded, I would have to get $100 for it, not including shipping. It may be more practical to you to get it welded locally if it is fixable. Did you have a welder look at the cracks?
You could always put a turbo motor in the car, or put a turbo on your existing motor.
I also have a two-piece 10v turbo manifold in nice condition. It has a small (internal) crack in one of the "septum-like" walls at the collector. The crack doesn't go to the outside. For this one I want $400 plus shipping.
New, they are close to $800, and it's unusual to see them offered or found used, IME.
Hth,
Ken

Re: Exhaust Manifold
Thanks for the suggestions.
Unfortunately, I did take the manifold to a welding shop that has tons of experience with cast-iron repair. But everytime it would cool down (they cooled it gradually in their ovens) it would crack. They tried twice.
Its too bad because its only one crack and its not that big. I may end up using it as is anyway, for lack of better options.
