Unreal intake manifold cost

It’s not 1979 any more. The cost is what it is. Don’t be so myopic as to step on your own dick. Used stuff is going up because you can’t get new. It’s not going to get better any time soon, if ever.

Buy it when you see or pay more later. Or not get something at all.

Exactly! Try and find a 340 six pack manifold right now, they are $900-1400 for the one's I see for sale for just the manifold since they haven't made any for about 5 years now. I have a Mopar Performance manifold on consignmet and the owner wants $1200 for it! Be grateful that there are still aluminum manifolds being made at all...
