Description from Auction:

This Original GM Cross ram is one rare find. The Top and bottom are very special parts. Check out the part numbers on the Top. You will see the winters Foundry symbol and 2 part numbers. The first part number is 3941130 and the second is 3965549. The First number 3941130 is for 1968 - 1969. The second number is 3965549 HEMI applications. Most people don’t know about this Part number. The History is Chevy created 3 Hemi 302 test engines. The Hemi was based off the original 302 block modified ( push rod clearance) and Special Hemi pistons, Heads with a Cross ram 2X4 intake. These Parts were made in late 12/68. The Top was made to fit both standard and HEMI Bottoms. The HEMI engine conversion never came in to Production. This Top has to be 1 of a hand full made and it’s in like new condition. Now for the Bottom. The Very large raised Winters symbol plus a heat shield. There are no part numbers on the runners. This part is special from all others. It has a special GM heat shield riveted on to the bottom. I never removed the shield so I’m not sure of its date code. The bottom is for stock chevy heads and not the HEMI Head. It does have the provisions for stock heater hoses like those used on 1968 and 1969 bottoms. The Carbs are 2 production matched NOS Part numbers 3957859 4295 both are 0179. Included is the wide base air cleaner housing with filter and Chrome top. Throttle linkage and bracket for cabel,return spring bracket,Y block, alt bracket and NOS GM Gasket in not opened GM package

Is the cover alone worth as much as the rest of the manifold?
