I have a lynch road built GTX built apx 10-4-1969
Would this have a Alum or iron Intake ?
or could it have either one ?
I have heard some of the early cars got the aluminium units.

There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama & people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good.

Based on the build date you posted you have a 71 GTX. 71 would be a cast iron manifold only. If you have a 70 GTX built 10/69 it may possibly have a cast iron or alunimum intake. Seems they were mixed for the first couple months of 1970 production.

Can any provide a survivor 70 that has an aluminium intake? I've always heard that it was done, but with all the cast iron intakes and dates I've seen I find it hard to believe

I'm the third owner of my 10-69 Cuda and have pictures from second owner clearly showing the aluminum intake on the engine at 13K
I have seen them on more than a couple November SPD cars....What's your engine assembly date James?
Cast Iron was the majority by then so if ones intake was missing you would be under less attack if you went with a cast iron one. 
Here is the earlist cast iron I have ever seen.....July 16 69

My survivor purple 'Cuda (Frank B's old car) has an aluminum....B05 SPD.
I remember a story that Edelbrock was having trouble fufilling their obligations to Chrysler which forced them to tool their own...in cast iron. Edelbrock finally shipped a bunch that were integrated with the stock of cast irons when the engines were built.

So do you think this "batch" of manifolds got consumed in October and November?
I have 4 sixpack cars with the earliest being built 12/69 - all cast iron
