Yup that's the brand that was on e bay and the one Russ Martin was selling . From what I understand is they are not making anymore , so what's out there is it unless someone makes a new mold .

Nope they are not available new and I was told not going to be available again.
Mine is new but has been mocked up. I sent you a link to a brand new one...cheaper than I paid for mine.

The day mine showed up I found another cheaper.....of course it was cheaper..my luck

Yes indeed, please do keep us posted on what you end up doing with that manifold.  It should be an engine that ends up being very interesting!
