2.3l exhaust conversion

[84ranger4x43030]

I have the factory stock exhaust manifold on my 2.3l. I had alot of problems with the manifold cracking I believe it was from heat build up in the manifold gases. I understand that there is certain years of rangers they have a stock shorty header. Does anybody know what years they came out with them? Also would a Ford 4.6l right side exhaust manifold bolt onto a 2.3l?

I don't know the exact years but I know my 1996 has one.

My 1993 has one on it. I think that was the first year.

Thank you Purple One for your info. Now since I have a pretty good idea I can go shopping.

My 95 2.3 has one too so finding one in the boneyard shouldnt bee too hard.
