I was told that puting a polution manifold on pre-polution heads with the blank you put on the polution manifold will presurize the sump to much and make it leak oil. True or False? i have always used pre pollution heads but with edelbrock manifolds. |

I wont do anything but not having an exhaust crossover. What is going to pressurise the sump? Pollution manifolds are pretty much junk anyway except for the Group III examples. The pre pollution manifold is pretty good, almost as good as a Performer, so w |

Yes to both questions. You can use the blue/black valley on the pre-pollution red heads (not pollution red). Just drill a hole in between the other two around the EGR hole and fit a bolt. It will go through the exhaust crossover but it doesnt matter as th |

One may exist. The 308 in a Bedford had a 2 barrel Rochester but I haven't yet confirmed if the heads were blue or red. The engine has a HEI dizzy. I'm still chasing and E, M and S series Bedford parts catalogue to tell for sure.

Hi Byron.
That's why I worded the answer "- in a Holden". The Bedford heads are Blue & the manifold suits a Rochester 2-Jet, but it's in a Bedford not in a Holden.

I did realise that you'd said "Holden" when the post came up after the "submit" button. So the heads are definitely blue? I thought this engine first appeared around 1978, that's why I wasn't sure of the blue or red fact. Out of interest, do the Holden c Edited by user Saturday, 5 April 2008 3:06:12 AM(UTC)
