Ford 3600 vertical exhaust conversion

[brando1956]

First post, have been lurking here for years, now have a new tractor project. I have a 78 Ford 3600 with cab and the horizontal exhaust is gassing me inside if I don't run with windows open. I want to convert to vertical exhaust. Can anyone out there tell me if the air box/air filter have to be changed or relocated? It looks like I need the vertical manifold and the intermediate pipe with a support bracket that appears to bolt to the manifold. What else besides the muffler is needed?

Forgot to mention this is a gasser, not a diesel.

In addition to the manifold and muffler, you need the S-pipe and a hole in the hood. Here are links to the parts drawing for both the gasoline and diesel exhaust systems, the S-pipe is labelled #23 in both drawings:

hanks for your help. Already have hole in the hood that looks to be in the right place, has what looks like a factory cover bolted over stamped hole. I just wasn't sure if the exhaust pipe would have room to get by the air box without moving it, sounds easier than I thought. Good to get input from someone who knows before I buy parts. Much obliged.
