    Cast Stainless Merc. Ex Elbows

    When I upgraed my old Formula 27 about 12-14 years ago I bought two Cast Stainless Steel Mercruiser 4 " center rise exhaust elbows along with new cast iron Merc manifolds.
    These looked almost like the stock cast-iron Mercruiser elbows.

    Are these 4" Cast Stainless Steel Merc exhaust elbows still offered by Mercruiser , or any other supplier?

    I need a pair for my Donzi benchseat 18 Small Block project.

    These cast SS elbows were indestuctable.
    The best stock-style exhaust elbows I ever owned.

    I should have swapped them out with cast-iron & kept them when I sold this boat five years ago.
    Those elbows are still going strong today for the boat's new owner.
    Typicaly in SaltWater use I find you need two sets of ebows for each manifold's useful lifetime.

    Were these also made for the Small Block Chevy Merc manifolds ?

    Phil:
    Will these also work on the Small Block Chevy Mercruiser manifolds ? I didn't think so.
    The SBC elbow are smaller are they not ?
