Well I have a Straight 8 from a 1953 Pontiac that I just took out of my 1951 Pontiac to put the original rebuilt 6 back in. I'm not certain ... but I'm almost sure that it would fit the 49 engine. I think the gasket sets are all the same for those years. It is not perfect though, a piece of the manifold broke and is missing a tiny piece from the center of the exhuast pipe to manifold passenger side bolt hole to the edge. Let me know if you are interested. Or if there is anything else you might need off that engine. You can e-mail me at pontiac51@hotmail.com <BR>below is a link to pictures of the engine in teh car ... but you really can't see much of the manifold. <A HREF="http://home.talkcity.com/FerrariDr/pontiac51/Engine.html" TARGET=_blank>http://home.talkcity.com/FerrariDr/pontiac51/Engine.html</A>

Pontiac parts book, early,up to 1951, lists exhaust manifold as 505510. Later parts book, 1955, lists part as 516168. Number is cast on manifold. I rebuild straight 8's, but do not have anything in stock at this moment. Hope this helps...Keep in touch.......Dennis<P>these part numbers cover exhaust manifolds from 1941 to 1954..<p>[This message has been edited by Dennis Ludcke (edited 04-11-2001).]
