very cool, did it ever run on the car ?

Not yet, the car is being partial resto'd atm, cancer started popping up, paint got a tad sad so I let the rego expire & am doing work on it bit at a time.
The donk's done a hard 230,000, will be freshened & running the manifold then, Iv'e still got to make the dual gas mixers for it as well..

so what was the reason for modifying that manifold, so you can use a blue/black head ?

Yeah, the motor that I've had in it for the last 18 years has been a VH commo donk with cam, comp & other mods..
After realizing how detrimental to the tune the red manifolds were 24-5 odd years ago, I figured I'd never use a red head or manifold again.

Here it sits collecting dust in the workshop awaiting some tlc.

Remember that accident my son had in march 2014, I was in Sydney at the time, been there a month, planned to come home in june to start building a house on land I'd bought in 2011, though the accident put all the family off their feet for 2 - 3 months, that put me behind a couple of years, literally...
The week before the accident, I picked up a 120 thou k old blue std 202 to rebuild, & a 173 small chamber head to make a start on the motor that manifold was built for.

I've since built the house which again has (and still is) put me behind, I had to get my whitecard & builders license to help another licensed builder mate build the house..
That's why I've not been here much since I joined..

I had to get this:-
