A twin-H intake with carbs is on ebay. The crack, how serious? Salvagable?

    I think it would be fine if you were using headers.

    It's not "structural" if you're using headers (ie, no strain put on it by heating and cooling like it would if connected to an exhaust manifold), and won't get hot. I've had pretty good luck brazing cracks like that, if they won't get any stress.

    Yes, it can be fixed, but keep in mind, you're dealing with 55+ year old metal. Fix this one, where's the next crack going to pop up?



    $175.00 is a fair finishing price for this set-up. If you are in the need, you can find a manifold in better shape, though. Just takes patience.
