Any interest in a swap?

Looking to swap either of these for a Nice W manifold.
One is the X for driver side 66-67 big block and the Z is
for the passenger side 68-76 big block. The W is needed for the 70 project.
I found a crack in it, and not sure if it can be repaired or not.

Would this suit your needs?
It has the flaws mentioned, but looks pretty good.

Your manifold is probably in better condition and worth more,
so I'd be willing to pay a reasonable amount of boot.

Correct. It is a "Y" manifold, casting no. 398706, for 1968 only on the RH side. The "X" LH manifold (casting 389269) was used 65-68.
