Too expensive now for their intended purpose, Steve!! Kinda like a nice painting that the seller wants 10K for cause its "soothing". I'll paint the picture myself and buy a bottle of JD and reach that same soothing level for about 25 bucks.
I've been watching you all talk up the long-branch angle for quite a while but folks are just asking too much for them!! Point me in the direction of a friendly FGFer that'll sell those manifolds for a reasonable price and I'll do it. I bid on the headers knowing I'd never even come near paying over 100 bucks for any set, due again to their intended purpose.
I've got the money for just about anything, but I'm darn picky about having the things I buy serve their purpose,... within reason.
'68 428 HO M3 Monster, 4-on-the-floor! Need I say more?
