Old heads, EGR intakes, Log manifolds = Scrap metal?
My project is complete, and I've got some leftover junk that Is not worth shipping.
I have very limited storage. I have a dirt floor, enclosed carport for a storage. I've had groundhogs in there. I put plywood on the floor, and use my old heads to hold it down lol. no problems now, for a few years, so i guess i can get rid of them now. I've made a large scrap metal pile at the curb for the junk man. I'm still reluctant to throw old EGR manifolds and Logs out there. I've got some old heads too. 5C-8, 11's, and #46's. I've got a few buckets of old junk like door handles and just junk lol. It's just junk and i have to launch it. No one is going to need log manifolds from a '74 Granville, right? No one is seeking out #11 heads from a 1970 2bbl 350, right? I suppose i will throw all this crap on craigslist one last time. Is it time to junk? |

To me it's junk. There's probably someone out there who would want it, but it's not cost effective to ship any of it.
There's nothing worse than having crap laying around that you, nor anyone else wants.

When I think of "log manifolds" I think of the multiple carburetor aftermarket manifolds produced in the 1950's and possibly very early 1960's.
If this is what you have, these log manifolds are VERY much in demand by the hot rod crowd. Jon.

The 75 and up EGR intakes have all the performance potential of the 68-72 models. I asked Dave Bisschop about this, years ago...

Shipping is a deal-killer on this stuff
Even if you give it away, you'd still have to pack it up to ship it. And your time is worth something.
If there is a machine ship in your area that does lots of work on old Pontiacs, they might be an outlet to get rid of the cylinder heads, but probably wouldn't pay for them. I hate to get rid of ANYTHING Pontiac, but that's how we ended up with 5000 square feet of Pontiacs and Pontiac stuff. If you were closer, we'd be ringing your doorbell with a couple pizzas and a case of beer and helping you clean things up. But you're at the other end of the world - unfortunately. |

Put an ad up buyer must take all..you would be surprised at the response, sell it all dirt cheap as a package or to give away someone will take it all.

Run an ad on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. For price just list $1.00 and put "Make you best offer, local pickup only" in your ad.
