Manifold, downpipe, gasket and patience of a saint if the head is still attached to the block. Think you need to take the inlet off first to access the exhaust manifold nuts. If you have no experience of removing the c clamps, use a large pry bar to remove them

hay mate it would be cheaper and easier for you just to buy a 421 branch manifold as its 1 piece and goes from head to centre section, and u can get ur hands up to the manifold again if u ever need to toghten or take off, still a squeeze tho, also take the roll bar off when fitting the 421 lol just trust me makes it alot quicker, on ebay you can get a cheep mani for 160 quid if u want better the price goes up.
