Message	again to install manifolds at a later date? I would recommend either getting the manifolds now, or leaving the engine on the stand till you can afford it. It's honestly not worth your time to pull the engine again if you don't have to. Ask me, since 2008, I've pulled the engine out of my car 3 times. It should have only been twice. It starts to wear on you when almost every year you're pulling the engine.
