Need advice on my 318

One thing I'm confused on...you say you are looking for someone willing to make modifications, do you mean to the manifold or other things? Because you also say you'll buy them back if they are undamaged, but wouldn't modifying them be damaging them?

Also be aware my timeline is not set right now. I just got the car this past Sunday. After I pick up the engine on Wednesday I can't say for sure when it will be ready to go in. I've also got to decide on rebuilding the tranny. Lots to do and consider before I get to manifolds. I think you mentioned you wanted someone with no ps. I'm pretty sure mine has it, but I'm considering removing it if it's as unnecessary as others say

NO rush at all, take your time. These things sell like hot cakes so I'm not worried at all. If you read the thread link you'll see that there may be some grinding needed (but I'm not sure). They are supposed to work with minor mods. I'm sure you'll be able to determine if they will work before you grind, if they won't work I'll buy them back and pay the shipping back to me!! I do know that the motor mounts you use also play a role in how much clearance you have. Old worn out motor mounts allow the engine to sit lower. Other mounts, like Shumaker, make the engine sit a little higher giving you more clearance on the P/S (of course shims do the same thing). The link I posted says that you might have to grind a little off the p/S box (not much) and a little off the manifold (maybe). But it's no big deal, if you don't want to take the risk I totally understand. Like I said, if you lived next door I would just lend them to you so I could see for myself and say "grind that sucker to see if it clears!!!"
Yes, I wanted someone without P/S but you live so close and I know know other members have used these manifolds with P/S. But again, I'm only doing this to help out Early A members. I sell the great majority of my manifolds to 67 and up A body members so I don't need more customers. It's just something that's been bugging me and I want to know for sure if they work and what it takes to make them work. You have no idea how many Early A members have written to me asking if my manifolds will work on their cars. I would love to give them a good answer.
Don't worry about it, I'm not going anywhere and I'm in no hurry. I haven't even advertised my manifolds for about 3 months just to take a break from all the orders.
