Someone got a smokin' deal on those!

 

[California 72]

That deal was so smokin' my eyes are watering. I'm not one who cares to brag about deals, so I won't. The fact I found these I'll just consider myself to have been unbelievably lucky I reached 71TexasBoss first. However, I would like to do a little bragging on how well he packaged them and how I would look at something he sells in the future as a step above when dealing with me. Thank you.

Just unpacked them and now, I am very astonished at the side by side of these to the 2V breed. These things are monsters! I understand headers make tons of HP over a stock manifold and while it's now a once-upon-a-time story because installing headers to gain that HP was always preferable if the opportunity presented.

For this build, there's something to be said for how things were designed and me realizing that making that kind of HP was probably better left sitting in the past. Even with the planned mods to my 2V Cleveland, if I stayed true to the goal, it's just respectable and controllable HP.

Seriously, I feel like I won the lottery after finding these especially having searched for the all-elusive 1971-73 4V Cleveland stock exhaust manifolds since I purchased my 4V heads, 3 years ago. The one important thing learned is, the shape and application and how many people selling the odd set out there on other sites miss in the description when listed. Many of you knew, and I learned, it's not a "one size fits all" and definitely specific to our year Mustangs which is pretty cool by itself.
