Exhauast manifolds

I am trying to avoid future header problems so I am looking for these exhaust manifolds. All are 2.5" outlet size. Do you have them? Do you want to sell them? If so PM me with discription and cost.
Casting Numbers:
3737902 1962-65 RH
3797902 1962-65 RH
3797942 1963-65 L/RH
3846563 1964-65 LH

Do you know of any other 2.5" outlet size exhaust manifolds.

I feel the 2.5" stock manifolds provides sufficient flow for my style of driving. It also is much quieter and has less underhood heat. Oh yeah and the obvious, they do ot leak or need maintenance to speak of. Any thoughts?

I ditched my headers for the 2 1/2" manifolds. I am thrilled. I bought (2) of the driver's side manifolds for 62-65 'vettes I think in '99. Mine came from Ecklers and were a bargain at $80 each. I searched again and the BEST price I found was $119. Ouch. But I would do it again.

On paceparts.com they show the manifolds as being discontinued. THAT'll drive the price up...

I bought a new fuel pick-up and sender for my Camaro yesterday. In my 2003 Classic Camaro catalog, it was $49. Now it is $219 due to a GM "price increase". Which is complete BULL S**T IMO. There is never an excuse for a 400% price increase. If you were making money at the $50 level, you are just screwing people. I feel the same way about their new vehicle sales. If you can get $12,000 knoced off a new Suburban without saying boo, the old MSRP price was a b*tt poking first rate.

Hi Mike. Thanks for the information. Can you do me a favor and get the numbers off your exhaust manifolds, take a couple of photos and send this to me. I am interested in how they fit and how others route their exhaust tubing. Thanks. Tim
