Anyone ever see this before?

This just showed up on e-bay. I had seen the cast dump elbows for the cast tri-Y headers but had never seen one for the stock manifolds. Wonder where the left side is.

Turbo 301?

That is a Tri-5 manifold with single exhaust. The pipe crosses from the driver's side to the Pass side. Manifolds for the 3 '55,'56 & '57/'58 are each different.

Looks like the rt. bank exhaust manifold of 1959-60 389 single exhaust; but I've seen them on 55-56-57 but different. Starting in 61 they brought the left bank tube over and welded it to the rt side.

Similar to Oldsmobile's funky crossover setup on some of their engines, which they used for a long time...
