Here are the pics of the manifolds, all the ears are intact and in great shape. Center dividers on both have a small crack (like they all do) which doesnt affect the performance of them. Pretty sure i paid $300 for them some 10 years ago, im sure the jet hot coating was half that price. I can deliver them to springfield nationals to save shipping they are heavy.

Newman, I'm going to tell your wife that you're using her washer as a background for car parts.

Thanks Terry and paratrooper I got some notched valve covers. (actually 2 sets)

Now onto the w z manifolds still looking. I see the repros are ~$300 can anyone offer a positive or negative on them ?

W31mans manifolds are sweet, but I dont think I need the jet coating on them (do I ) his price is close enough to the repro manifolds (bare not coated) that I need to consider them as well

so if it were you (You being the entire CO audience) used coated exhaust manifolds or new repro exhaust manifolds and if you've heard good or bad about the repros lets hear it

I've got a lone Z manifold here if you're interested. All the tabs are ok and appears to have no cracks.
