What is the status of this manifold now? Can they be purchased? I dealt with Steve on some carb tops last spring. They are OK, but not as good as the imported ones. It looks like he bead blasted them too much, so they have a grainy finish instead of smooth like the originals or imports. Screw mounting holes are not accurately aligned to the body, making it necessary to drill them larger.

I didn't like the second run of manifolds. They didn't seem to be as clean a casting as the first run.

THIS IS SOMETHING I'VE BEEN LOOKING/BEGGING/PRAYING FOR, FOR YEARS. DON'T CARE ABOUT NUMBER MATCH ONLY WEIGHT AND THREE CARBS. BESIDES THAT I WANT TO PUT ONE ON THE '77 EL CAMINO (PONTIAC POWER) AND THE OTHER IN THE '67 FIREBIRD. WHY HAS IT TAKEN SO LONG ? I BELIEVE THE MARKET WAS THERE ALL ALONG--ALWAYS WAS THERE !!!

You will like the work from Central Virginia Machine. P-Body ported mine, that and a few other minor changes took me from the low 12's into the 11's, mph went from 113 to 117. -Jim ><>
