Best source for Ramhorn Manifolds - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need to replace my manifolds due to cracks. I noticed that ECE carries them, but wasn't sure if the price was competitive at $119 each. Any suggestions for good, new manifolds?

I would check with board members first. Unless you are looking for absolutely brand new condition manifolds -- lots of folks with headers here probably have servicable ram horns.

Hook'em, I'm putting ramhorns on my truck right now. I just don't like the headers. I pulled a set from the salvage yard off another '69. They cost me $50. I then had a machine shop resurface the port openings to make sure they were flat. That cost me $30. The bead blaster on post is broken (normally cost me $3/hr) so I had to pay to get the rust blasted off...another $30. I ordered the factory grey coating from Eastwood..with shipping...another $30. Had to get a couple of bent studs and one broken one removed...$25. One trip to the salvage yard and two trips to the machine shop in my 2004 Dodge Ram Quad Cab w/ a Hemi...$40. I still need to go to the parts store to get the gaskets and bolts...Probably $15...oh and gas for the HEMI...$15

So, reconditioned Ramhorn...oh $240

ECE brand new....oh $240

What was I thinking...lol

Yeah, they are competitive. Their shipping is not bad either. You can also get them from Kragen, AutoZone, and the like. RH..$123, LH..$134

Well, that's my $240 and .02
