Nicson exhaust logs

Nicson exhaust logs

These are in really good shape, no cracks. Need some polishing, no real deep scratches. Not sure what they fit! LOL! Selling for a friend, first $75. Also they have 3 stud rear flanges.

Plus the gap between the center cylinders is different than the others...

I don't think they're FE. Here's a gasket for that.

Here's a nailhead manifold. I think big nasty might be on to something.

I was hoping they'd be 500 caddy. They're pretty hard to come by but I don't think that's it either.

You're right again, it was an aluminum engine. Rover in England ( I think they're in England) bought the tooling from GM for the 215, changed several of the features that were the weak link with the engine, I have no idea what those changes were, and used that engine for decades as their work horse motor, like our SBC.

There's a 215 Olds too and from what I read some of the parts are not interchangeable between the two.
