Re: IML: C Body HP Manifolds "should" fit 1960

[sosmi@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I don't think I'd worry too much about finding truck manifolds, I've had several 400-440 trucks, and the manifolds seem to crack easier from the thermal heat cycles, than  the car manifolds. They are still log style, and the outlets are no bigger than the car manifolds. The HP C- Body are the best choice, for those that really care. The average " FANNYOMETER" would be hard pressed to tell the difference.Ya'll have a nice day, Dave.
