Re: iron intake L79
From the "Vette Vues Fact Book, 1968-1972" by M. F. Dobbins:
[ QUOTE ]
Unlike 1965-1967, the 327/350HP engine (L-79) used a cast iron intake.

Dr. Dobbins is generally regarded as THE authority on early Corvettes, so if he says it's so, it probably is!!
Also, CBTN shows the Casting Number as 3919803 and used in the 68 Passenger with the 327/250HP and 275HP, Chevelle with the 327/250HP, 275HP and 325HP, Chevy II with the 327/275HP and 325HP, Chevy II with the 350/295HP, Camaro with the 327/275HP, Camaro with the 350/295HP and the Corvette with the 327/300HP and 350HP. It shows this manifold as Cast Iron.
