if you could count on that as a consistant price it would be worth repopping them.

I like to watch six cylinder chevy stuff on Ebay. I've been watching a set of tube headers and even bidded on them. I went too high at $105 in my opinion. Those used tube headers went for $172.50 when it was all over. You can buy new ones for around $140 or so from Night Prowlers, brockmans and Wirth's all day long. Don't these people do any research? I bought a D&S intake the other day and paid too much for it, but at least it wasn't a piece that I can get some where else. Believe me as cheap (actually poor) as I am if it was available somewhere else cheaper, I'd buy it there.

Offenhauser lost the molds for those when they started up the old stuff again... you would think they would repop them. Have any idea what it would cost to do a run on those shiney? Were you guys thinking of doing a casting run w/ the offy name on them? jus curious id buy a couple...

Not trying to sound like spam, About 3 mo. ago I was in Pinstripers shop in Birmingham Alabama and he had some of these adapters in stock. call Sam at 205 328 5141. I hope this helps.

For the price of that Offy setupyou could buy a nice 4 barrel that would beat the ass of most cars with a cobbled 2 barrel setup with half the trouble setting it up . That being said , it is pretty damn cool . . .

Yeah.....
Then you can sell them to Speedway.
It won't be long and they will be
made in Taiwan. Bubble Packed and
ready to bolt on.

Man this reproduction thing is killin the Hotrod.
As it has everything else that was once original
and cool.

Repop sucks!

Hey Shiny...have you thought about doing those for real?...There is a foundry in Victoria that does some car stuff...the guy might even be on the HAMB web page (http://www.achinbackfoundry.com./)

www.vintagespeed.com (http://www.vintagespeed.com) has'em for $89.00 they don't say "weiand" and they only got one bolt pattern for the 4bbl. side.and before someone gets on here to complain about how Charlie Price took forever to build your 6x2 set-up,i've bought carbn rebuild kits and assorted hardware from him and he's pretty good about that sort of thing,at least to me-george

I just sent my mold off to Obrien Truckers to have them cast. I hope to have them in stock soon! Here is a pic and link. Carb Adapter (http://97heaven.com/adapt.html) I hope I can keep them at that price. I will udate as soon as I hear from them. They will be sold ready to go. With all holes drilled and studs installed. They only have the one bolt pattern. Hope this helps!
