Kevin, Depending on how original you want to stay, you
might consider a header which you can pick up much
cheaper, with same or possiply improved performance.
Gets you back on the road quickly, then you can work
on a quality repair for the original manifold for
replacement down the road. just a thought, price
both. BTW, yo will need to replace the long 1600
starter w a short fat 2000 starter if you do go w a
header. Cost of a new manifold may make you cringe
