You didn't mention what head he was going to run but Tom Hemphill from Clarksburg,PA. does a lot of B1 manifolds. He may even have something used laying around. If you need more info let me know.
1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27

thanks bigdad but wow is all i can say they must work great for the price
Hogan's is one of the cheaper places to get one, but is probably the best bang for the buck. Because of the sheer volume of manifolds they do, they can price them lower. Most everyone else starts at 3k. A Wilson will cost you 6-8k. It's like anything else, you get what you pay for. LOTS more to it, than bending up some sheet aluminum and welding it together........at least there is if you want it to make power.

How about making billet runners ? Lets say there could be a runner length and taper that would work good for 540-572 B1 orig. heads that at least 4 or more could use. We could then ask for a price, like a group buy. I bet there is lots of costs to be saved in programming and fixture for milling these in a 5-axis cnc mill. I would like to have o-rings and four allen bolts 1/4 or smaller in both ends of the runner. If you change deck height in a future build, you could use the runners for another engine and build a new plenum. My budget will not allow for this build, this winter, but probably next winter. Here´s an example I found google the net, but with very short runner length. http://www.williamsenginedesign.com/_/rs...8&width=428Tom
