Those manifolds that are in that picture are the stock units for a 1993. The ones that were on the engine I am pulling are garbage... 1 is ok but the ports are slightly off to one side about an 1/8 of an inch (all of them equally, bad casting) and the other is an original GM but it is cracked between 3 and 5 to the bottom of the manifold. So I went and found a matching set. Not sure if they are/were "truck" or "Vette" ram horns, but they are exactly like the ones that came off the old engine (minus the imperfections) and hopefully will allow me to use the existing exhaust until I can afford a decent set-up. And I couldn't argue with the "come get them out of my shed" price. *laughs*

If you are wondering they are the straight drop(outlet, 2.5"), not the ones canted 135 degrees. Again not sure which is which but that is what was there to begin with.
On a side note I will be learning this next week how to port match with the exhaust. a friend of mine is coming over on his day off to help me port match the exhaust manifolds. I get that this isn't a big horse power engine... But he volunteered and I wanted to learn.
