1952 ford customline dual exhaust question
im restoring a 1952 ford customline . and it will have the flathead back in it . and i know back in 52 the car had single exhaust which this one is all still in tact under the car . . and on the flattie the drivers side manifold crossed over in the front to the pass side and it dumped in the back . now heres my question can this be done i want dual exhaust on it by using the stock manifolds what can u do or have to interchange maybe diff year manifolds to get the car to have dual exhaust like both manifolds to dump in the back on each side , then again i see a maybe problem if the driver side manifold dumps in the back due to all the 3 speed rods and clutch fork and etc . i dont want to use headers . is there manifolds that will set this up on the car like one year and use another year criss crossing manifolds or etc ????

Check with Waldron's exhaust. They have a conversion kit for these cars. I purchased one for my 1953 ford flathead.

I installed a set of Red's Headers on our '53 Sunliner with Ford-O-Matic... only thing I had to modify was the transmission breather cover.

It's pretty easy to make an adapter to use the passenger side manifold on the drivers side.

I used Red's headers and Smithy mufflers to convert to dual exhaust - think it relieved some of the back pressure caused by single exhaust with a cross-over.

Re: 1952 ford customline dual exhaust question
Wow, that is a super looking car. My dad bought a new "leftover" '53 Mainline ForDor I-6 in ‘54; it was the same blue with an ivory top (its only option), he traded in a '49 Merc Convertible... I was five years old and very upset that he did that...
