Here's the story. My brother just traded his 1992 Camaro straight-up for a 1967 Buick Grand Sport. The carberetour is brand-new, but it just blew up anyways. At any rate: my brother needs an intake manifold for a 340 cu-in V8, preferably with a spreadbore carb mounting. Any suggestions would be great (couldn't find anything on eBay or any similar auctionhouses).
Thanks. :cool:

Get a foreign car. US cars suck.

Tried an auto parts store?

Ya know he has, but none of them can find an intake manifold for a '67 Grand Sport. I'm thinking if he just said "340" he might get more hits from some of the numbnuts at our Kragen.

Scrapyards!!

Tux, I thought that too, but he wants a mint, OEM manifold. I find it hard to believe that he's going to track one of those down without asking for a 340 part.

I think he's on a wild goose chase TBH (http://smile.gif)

he's a dufus, then.
remanufactured or pulled are the same as "mint condidion" at this point. they're all nearly 40 years old. tell him to stop being such a pussy, save some money, and go buy a remanufactured part.

Did he try any of those car websites?

Actually, he thinks he might have found a suitable Edelbrock that could be grafted in, in YearOne (http://www.yearone.com). Beyond that, nobody we've tried seems to have anything.

they are kind of pricey but they should have it.
once you get, take it down to any machine shop and they can beed/sand blast it. it will be good as new.
