MerCruiser V8 454 7.4L and 502 8.2L Chevy Marine Exhaust Manifolds 1983 to 2000
|
The manifold above is known as the "Center Riser" manifold. It replaced
the MerCruiser "LOG" manifold for the 1983 model year. The log style
manifold has the riser at the back of the manifold.
The Moore Performance manifolds are an exact replacement for the 1983 -
2000 MerCruiser Big Block Chevy manifolds. The external dimensions are
identical with all holes drilled and tapped like the original manifolds.
These manifolds are available in either cast iron or aluminum. Both the
aluminum and the cast iron manifolds have identical dimensions. The
aluminum manifolds are considerably lighter (20 pounds versus 40
pounds).
All of the external dimensions of
the Moore Performance manifolds
are identical to the stock
MerCruiser manifolds however the
inside of the manifolds are quite
different. Dividers have been
placed inside the manifold plenum.
These dividers separate the
exhaust pulses from each cylinder
and guide the exhaust gases
towards the outlet. The effect of
the dividers results in an increase
in performance and fuel economy.
The original MerCruiser manifolds
have no dividers only an open
plenum.
The aluminum manifolds come with anodes
that can be installed inside the manifolds
water jacket to prevent corrosion. The cast
iron manifolds have provisions for installing
the anodes as well.

The manifolds come with new water inlet
elbows that have drain plugs for quick
winterizing.

Every manifold comes with a new gasket. This is the best gasket on
the market. It is a sandwich style gasket consisting of a metal core
with graphite gasket material on both sides. The metal core keeps
the gasket from blowing out under pressure. Never use a cheap
paper gasket that is simply stamped out of exhaust gasket material!

Every manifold comes with a stainless steel "sandwich style" riser
gasket. This is the "restricted" gasket used with most Mercruiser
cooling systems.
