believe it or not both are beautiful except for that split!!!  I agree with you to try to get something close in date codes but I've been looking for ever... I think we are agreeing a wrong date that looks great is better than an original date with a huge weld? its a 350 conv 4  speed.

thanks again for your input into my project :)

I saw a crack in my manifold. I removed it today for repair and it is split in half. The engine is NOT original but the manifolds are and in very rust free legible shape. Finding another in nice shape with correct date code 8C18 will be very difficult. So do I use any date code or from an originality perspective or do I seek another or even attempt to repair the one I have?

 Thoughts? Thanks

its mostly there some chunks have fallen off... im dealing with a car from the original owner 80 years old who thought it a good idea to rattle can spray much of the underside in an attempt to preserve it thus the wheel wells got it too so im trying to recover from that. Think I might have to paint the deadener black again etc. PIA :(

thank you... the rear. I assume the sequence was red oxide, black "insulation" and then some body color overspray. NJ car. that seem correct?

Also is the a best correct insulation being used for restorations? thanks -John
