exhaust manifold doesn't bolt up
I'm putting in a ZZ4 but due to budget restrictions, I'm forced to but on the original exhaust manifold back on instead of new headers. My problem is that the holes just don't line up and I was wondering if anyone has had that problem and how they solved it.

It's pretty comon they make manifold streachers that you put inbetween them and cranck them apart so you can bolt them up. also if there not to bad you can just use a prybar to line them up.

That exhaust spreader worked like a champ, thanks for the advice. A set of headers is on my priority list, probably above getting my sons cavity filled. I just need to put the manifolds on for now so I can drive around.
