The manifold will bolt up, but the holes in the middle (around the EGR port) don't match.
The better way would be to get a red 308 inlet - it's a 4 barrel & all the holes line up.
The other "right" way around this if you really want to retain the blue |

If your 253 has pollution red heads (U shaped EGR ports in the middle) you can only use pollution red valley, which is a dog of a manifold. If you have pre pollution red heads (no EGR ports) then use a pre pollution red manifold (the blue manifold will wo |
