Hoon,

The BADROC corral may have a spare (if a '68 will match). I'll check 
tonight. All it'll cost is two beers (I'm all out).

>From what I remember, it's not easy to just pull or drop the manifold. I think 
you have to unbolt the motor mounts and move the engine enough for the manifold 
to clear the frame. A how-to session at CalSpeed's BBQ this weekend? ;>
