I've got a '78 bus (type 4 motor) with rotten heat exchangers, but I think the extractor and muffler are still ok. What (cheaper setup) can I get in place of the heat exchangers?

Any ifno is Much appreciated.

As far as I know you don't have a choice but to find some good used exchangers, there are several types of exhausts available but I know of no one who makes anything to replace the mainfold/heat exchangers themselves unless you were putting it in a sandrail or something.
when you say rotten do you mean blown out noisy gaskets at the head/manifold or what.
Not sure where the cutoff was from the copper gaskets to the square port stamped metal gaskets was but that type leak is fixable...
