The early Triton motors would occasionally warp an exhaust manifold, and even less often spit out a spark plug. But otherwise an awsome power plant. I wasted 2 1/2 years wrenching at a Ford dealer.

The problem wasn't the manifolds, it was the cheap studs that broke after a few heat cycles.
a $130 set of ebay headers and some M8x1.25x35 stainless bolts take care of it, and get you some mileage and power.
