Hard bargain.

Oh, come now. You only need half an ear from it, I don't want you to cut the whole flange off!

If I cut one ear off what good is the rest? In fact, what good is the damn thing anyway. Even if I only shipped it across the street the shipping would cost more than it's worth. :huh:

I do have a 1959 corvette right side manifold, but that's worth about $100. For some reason, for certain years the vettes had the generator on the pass. side instead of drivers side. I don't think I'll cut that. :dgt:

It worked for van Gogh. :hmmm:

The C-barge "HP" manifold is worthless. It's also late B-body; as far as I know everything used them '75-up except the trucks. If you're worried about replacing it, the scrapyard where I got the 440 has them stacked like cordwood. I'll bring you a replacement. I can swing the $5 he might charge me for one of them.

 

[68R/T]

I'll bring you a replacement.

Don't bother, I can't give this one away. :dgt:

 

[Dr.Jass]

Exactly. Break out the 4½" angle grinder with the cutoff wheel and get to it.

 

[68R/T]

I'll use this, it's cleaner & faster;

 

[Dr.Jass]

Cleaner I'd believe. Faster? Cutoff wheel in the angle grinder's about the fastest way that I know. My plasma cutter doesn't work that fast.

 

[68R/T]

The band saw cuts through stuff like it's butter.

And I don't need eye protection. :hmmm:

 

[Dr.Jass]

I wear eye protection using a hacksaw, much less anything powered no matter how slow. You've only got one good peeper left, man, so I'd suggest the same. :naughty:

The majority of the time I'm wearing my reading glasses, otherwise I can't see 3 feet in front of me. :huh:

By the way you were a wonderful tour guide. We just liked giving you a hard time. I even remember looking at that motorhome and mentioning to the wife it was a big block.

You realize you only have two feet, right? Perhaps that's part of the problem.

I thought a lot more about sites of interest when you two were here than I did when Nodda was around, probably because we had a lot more time to kill. If he and the wife come this way again, I'm going to take 'em on the mine tour. Of course, you two never got to the Cornish Pump or the glider museum, either, but it wasn't open when we had time.

I never even thought to open the hood that day. That ding-a-ling that was supposed to come and take that 360 off my hands never did; thank God he never looked under that hood. Oh well, it's mine now. :dance:
