LA 340 Intake Manifold

340inabbody said

Guys I really appreciate your comments and help on this! I don’t have a lot of money and don’t want to throw any more than I need to at this. I AM looking to just getting it assembled and running again. A rebuild is the future but here and now maybe a manifold will help.

With being said was wondering if this is what you were referring to as Chinese manifold knock off or clone? I was trying not to spend $475 on an intake manifold and these are a cheap alternative IF they run fairly well. Any comments on these? What are they and if ok how do I choose the right one?

Those are the generic Chinese Air Gap manifolds that I spoke of- they are sold under a number of different names and vendors- search for your best price. They fit both LA and Magnum heads, so if you do go the Magnum route down the road, you don't have to hunt down another manifold.
They work well, but aren't anything special other than what you'd imagine they are: a decent performing, low cost street-oriented option.
If you're not in a hurry, Speedmaster usually offers "Black Friday" deals of up to 50% off, otherwise these guys have a respectable daily price:

Oops- I just noticed that the one you showed was even cheaper by a few bucks- good find!
