[QUOTE=ThatOneBlue67;1788173]Yeah I had figured that the stock manifolds were garbage (race car wise). But at 300 bucks I'm not so comfortable about investing in a new manifold for a 40 year old motor that's ben rebuilt once sometime in the 80's.QUOTE]

Honestly, these will run forever on a rebuild done right...............They aren't like a V-8, low rpm motors built right in the design room will last. The engine I am using in my K has unknown amount of miles on it, and was nobody ever put a wrench to it. The guy we got the C-10 from it was in said he ran it from our town, to his, and back atleast 1 time a day, most of the time it was 2 round trips.........40 miles one way. Did that for years, truck wouldn't pass DOT inspection so he used it as his farm truck, and put who knows how many miles on it.........Speedo didn't work he said for a long time. We bought it and put 50,000 or so on it(Fixed the speedo) as our farm truck. We did have to pull the pan because the spot welded nut inside the pan broke and we couldn't get the plug tight while it was still in that C-10..............Pulled acouple rod and main caps, some wear, but not much, everything else looked fine.......No sluge.......Buttoned it back up and I and going to run it now..........Parted the C-10.
