I purchased a 69 Z/28 in 1976. It had been rode hard and put up wet. Aftermarket ignition,
intake and exhaust etc. I knew I would want to put it back stock someday so I purchased a bunch
of parts in 1978. This manifold was among those parts. Of course, not knowing the correct
casting numbers, I had no idea that this was “correct” for the 1970, 71 Z , Corvette LT1, and
Yenko Duece COPO vehicles.
Anyway, I kept this in the box until it was installed on a DZ motor in about 1986. I drove the car
at most 200 miles. It mostly sat waiting for me to get to that restoration. I disassembled the
motor in 1997. Other than to shoot it with a little carb cleaner to get the fingerprints off, this
manifold has not been cleaned in any way. No sand blast, no bead blast, no dipping etc. It is
nearly perfect. You can see just a slight bit of rust deposit around the bolt holes. These can be
cleaned up, but I wanted everyone to see just how clean this manifold was just as I removed it
eight years ago. You can even see a little purplish fuel deposit if you look down the plenum area.
Divider has not been touched in any way. Only the factory machine marks. Winters logo is very
clear. Never been polished an any way. What appears to be a crack across on runner is simply
the factory casting flash. You will be hard pressed to find a better looking intake, even if it is
still in the box.
There is one tiny imperfection. Up front just left of the factory freeze plug, there is a small hole
about 18 inch in diameter. Not sure what is up with that, but it can be easily fixed cosmetically
and will not be in a conspicuous place.
Absolutely no repaired threads. All mating surfaces are PERFECT. Even the heat shield is
perfect. Not even any flash rust. I have no idea what the casting date is, and I am not about to
remove the heat shield to find out, so please don’t ask.
Shipping will be a flat $20 to continental U.S. business address, $25 to a residence.
