Exhaust Leak

Well, when Charlan saw my manifold he pointed out how much it had shrank, and lately I have heard that familiar sound of an exhaust leak and sure enough it is leaking in atleast 2 places but it isn't cracked. It has really gotten bad lately with the manifold moving as much as 1/8" in some places, funny seeing the gaskets sticking out the way they are. My question is will a 2nd Gen manifold fit on a 1st Gen? The bolts don't look bent but would it be good to replace them as well? Anybody have a manifold lying around? PM me if somebody can help. Thanks.

Scott
