I have a 1964 Comet Caliente that was given to me. The original motor was taken out and replaced with an inline six cylinder. The exhaust is leaking badly right where the manifold connects to the exhaust pipe. Someone suggested welding it but i would like to avoid this if possible. I believe it is more than a gasket or flange problem. I believe it isnt fitting right because of the different motor What is the easiest and best way to fix this?

I would suggest a replacement. Repairs are a burden since your exhaust will keep leaking hence calling for more and more repairs. Visit the link below in case you need new exhaust.

most likely just a worn/cracked donut gasket. Go to any auto parts store and ask for the exhaust donut gasket in the size your exhaust is. Soak the bolts in penetrating oil, pull apart, replace with new gasket and it should be as good as new!
