OH OK got it

Most likely one the 1st run of castings made by Chrysler for the 70 model year to replace the Aluminum Edelbrock units. Believe me they were at least 1 to 2 years ahead of production on development of engine parts and packages. I had a Cast iron 6-BBL intake cast dated in 1968, it came on my old 1970 440-6 Road Runner. I replaced it with an edelbrock unit and sold the original intake as I wanted to reduce the weight. Those darn cast iron 6-bbl intakes weigh a ton!! Never thought much about the casting date, since I've worked over 40 years now in the Auto Mfg. Industry. I've worked on New Product launches in the Factory and we build pre-pilot & pilot units at least a year and a half in advance of production start-up on the assembly line to make sure production build is correct and all of the bugs are worked out in advance. I started my career at age 20 back in 1976 ..... I would think that protocol was in place back in the day also .....

Wow that's a bunch of money but will it actually sell??
Would the casting mistake make worth more or less???
Thanks

Not likely but a lot of people think they are gold.

I have 5 70-71 Sixpack cars so I always look for manifolds and carbs - you can find them for $500 or less. All day.

I here you...
Yeah usually what I run into my sh!t aint worth 2 cents and somebody else's same sh!t worth a million!!

LOL

Back in the 80s you couldn't give away a cast iron sixpack intake. Then they were $200 forever. Now they are $400 to $500.

I think most people want to run an Aluminum manifold for weight.

Yep..... back in the mid 80's I bought a 340 six pack intake with carbs for $100....no lie.

I think my brother has you beat with a 71 Go Wing for $3 in mint condition. The best part is some "dude" passed on it and as soon as the guy put the part down my brother bought it.

you guys would poop in your britches if you knew how much i paid for the complete max wedge top end i own. exhaust manifolds, heads,intake, carbs, linkage. the only thing missing was the air cleaners, and all of it was in operational condition. i will say it was less than halfway between the above mentioned figures. some guy at a car show came up to me and said he had the perfect engine parts for my 38 plymouth coupe in his basement at home. his dad used to drag race and took these parts off to rebuild the engine, but sold the car instead. [my coupe had a 360LA] you all know how these guys are at car shows. well, 20min. later he shows back up with this stuff. um, it wasn't a hard decision to make......

I can't believe some of the things that I have been able to buy off of e-pay that the sellers either don't have identified correctly or simply have lousy pictures. I don't doubt a lot of others that browse that site don't have the swap meet experience I have and can't identify a lot of the rarer and highly valuable items by sight. Just as well though, they will be able to find it when I put it back up for auction in a few weeks with a much better description and a whole lot better pictures.

Intake and everything on it including air cleaners for $200,manifolds $300,all O.E.M. !
