Round Ports for big car
I have a 66 Bonneville and am trying to figure out if there are any other manifold options than Firebird long branch for round port heads for big car. Ramair said they used to make them and Ames shows discontinued as well. I haven't seen anything used other than the Firebird stuff that is super expensive. I'd consider headers if they were available.
Any ideas? I'd like to put my current 400 with round port E-heads in the car. Otherwise I'm stuck with 7K3's and stock manifolds. I don't think it's worth the money for the Ramair D-port manifolds with the 7K3's.....??? |

Gen one long branch. From what I can tell the later F and A body manifolds exit straight into the steering box on the b body.

Cheapest ones on eBay.

I'd just buy aluminum d port heads and manifolds if I was going to spend that kind of money. It would still be cheaper than $4K. That's the problem..... Thanks for the heads up on Tubular. I'll give them a call.

Just as an update, I got this reply from Paul @ RARE just recently.
“ NO ETA ON ROUND PORT LBs “ Not even a glimmer of hope . . . . .
