i'm not selling any of these in the near future none on the web// this is going to b my vaction travel trip next year

70BLAZERX2 · 08-13-2010, 02:27 PM

how about a small block offenhauser dual port intake..It has 2 carb studs broke in it, the coolant port is stripped out and the distributor hole is cracked..I can get pics if you think you can fix it.. Early 60's era intake.

I got stuck with it on ebay...damage was photo shoped over..I was mad..they would not do anything about it.

I also have one MOROSO small block valve cover, alumn. Just needs cleaned..nothing wrong with it.

cdowns · 08-13-2010, 04:25 PM

carb studs r easy fix drill with reverse drill bits and can always b repaired with helicoils and b stronger than original

water port can b tapped oversized

distributor hole crack i'd not bother with a manifold with that problem

valve covers and accessories i'm looking for are pre holley M/T ,cal custom,ansen,grancor,fenton and other oldschool stuff like that

GRX · 08-13-2010, 04:39 PM

Indeed. I have been given several intakes for free just because they have a stripped carb mount bolt hole or two. Helicoil is an easy fix.

Get any Pontiac stuff let me know

GRX · 08-13-2010, 06:51 PM

Nice! Wouldn't mind having a Lemans Safari Wagon myself. Have a hopped up 2.5L Iron Duke that would be great in there.
