I don't know why you're acting hurt- You made an assertion that only exotic race cars crack manifolds, I am merely showing you that it is a faulty assertion. A cast iron manifold bolted to an aluminium head- there's going to be a lot of movement there and potential for failure. That being said, it's still not an epidemic by any stretch. The newer EPA mandates that the entire exhaust system is now reclassified as an integral part of the emissions system is not necessarily retroactive, but you may have an arguement that would work well enough to make them give in.
I, too, have built many engines, cars, boats and yes, a kit plane. My creds got cred too. Don't interpret what I say as ill will- it's just that I think you are reacting a little too much to a minor problem on an old truck.
