Thats in Australia and as new edelbrock manifolds are around $1200 people will pay good money for used ones.Hell even a 750 holley is near a grand new here!
Our aussie dollar is only about 65c to the US dollar.But on the other hand our wages are very big at the moment as my smash repair bussines the top tradesmen there are earning About $2500 clear after tax a week. When I worked at a mine site ten years ago we were getting $3600 on the long week and $2850 on the short week! That would be a lot more now as I have heard the miners now get about four grand a week.
