If you do wind up taking off the manifolds, Eastwood makes a fine product that you brush on the manifold ( exaust ) that when cured looks like new cast iron (grey) and stays put for years. You will have to sand blast the manifold but first take a file and grind off any imperfections like seams and such, a metal grinder does a fine job. After sandblasting, do not handle the manifold if you can help it with your bare hands as it has to be completly oil free. Brush on the product from Eastwood, let it sit for about a half hour. Then I put it in the bar-b-q on high for about an hour. This will cure the paint before you scuff it putting itt back on. Driving will cure it the rest of the way and it will look like a new manifold for years. Great stuff and it costs about $ 20.00
I have used it on several hi performance Chevy small blocks, an old 39 Packard and others and have had no complants.
