The MPI Automotive FX-765 is a set of extractors listed to fit the 292 six-cylinder Chevrolet C60 truck and bus, and the related Bedford, from 1959 on. It is a tube exhaust manifold for an older Chevrolet commercial six, supplied for restoration and working-vehicle builds.

What does this extractor set cover?

The FX-765 replaces the cast iron exhaust manifold on the engine with a set of welded steel tubes — the part of the system bolted directly to the cylinder head. On a long-serving 292 six like the one in the Chevrolet C60 and Bedford trucks, that is the component most likely to have cracked or warped over the decades, so a fresh extractor set is as much a repair item as a performance one. It covers the C60 and the Bedford built from 1959 onward.

What is an extractor and what does it change?

An extractor, sometimes called a header, swaps the restrictive cast manifold for separate tubes that merge further downstream. The idea is to let each cylinder breathe with less back-pressure than the original casting allowed. The trade-off on an old commercial engine is fit and access: tube headers sit differently to the cast original, so steering, chassis and engine-mount clearance all have to be checked on the actual vehicle rather than assumed.

Will it suit my Chevrolet?

It is listed to fit the 292ci six-cylinder Chevrolet C60 and Bedford from 1959 on; confirm the exact engine and build with the workshop before ordering, as these are old commercial chassis with many running changes. Send us your engine number and chassis details and we will check it against the listing.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits and connects extractors like the FX-765 in-house in the Illawarra. On a vehicle of this age we check the head face, fasteners and surrounding clearances, then tie the new tubes into the rest of the system. The recommended retail is $636.14; older commercial parts can be special-order, so talk to us about stock before you book the bay.
