'83 TQ exhaust manifold

["POWELL, GLEN" <GPOWELL@rimail.interlan.com>]

          I have heard of cracked exhaust monifolds on the older cars,
          82-83s etc. Your best bet would be a new one. (Yeah, I
          know--$$$) Welded ones are only temporary at best. As you
          know already, finding good used parts is near impossible.
          For the cost of the new factory part you might find someone 
          to fabricate a nice tubular header. I'm looking for a used
          head and exhast manifold myslef, or even a whole motor.
