Looking for a Gen I Intake Manifold

[ap227]

Greetings from a new owner of a Gen I Viper and a soon-to-be member of VCA (once my application gets processed). The intake manifold (3-rib) on my stock 94 Viper has chips in the powder coat and dings in the metal along the edges of the ribs that happened when the head gasket was changed. New intake manifolds are no longer available. Anyone have or know where I can get one in excellent condition?

It would be much cheaper to get it powder coated and probably will look a LOT better. I have a brand new, never use Gen I intake, but it's "garage art".
Good luck in your search, but I suggest powder coating.

So I take it your "garage art" is not for sale. Thanks for the suggestion on the powder coating. I will probably end up powder coating or touching up the manifold I have now ... but I don't think that will hide the "dings" on the edges of the ribs. Figured I would try and find one in better condition than mine then I could use mine as garage art.

If advertising is buried in a low budget rotating banner waiting its' turn to pop up, one might just have to take his chances I guess.

But, there might be a chance to catch the customer on his way out the door with a cryptic lament..

Spend half and waste a quarter,or just pocket the wasted half!

How about this one?
Powdercoated, Extrude honed, with chromed brackets, stainless steel hoses, billet injector covers, injectors etc... $500, plus shipping

I have also original 1993 manifold. Both are 4 ribs.

FE 065, you strike a nerve. Ever see any Cosworth lubricant ads? Wanna guess how much was spent? Then guess how many people bought any... It's why I'm still selling brakes, I guess.

Budgeting for marketing and advertising has to be one of the luckiest shots in the dark things I think a business ever does, but has to be close enough to stay in business year after year.
