Re: A couple questions on my 63 Dodge 330

Actually I'm not sure the warping was the main problem with the aluminum 
manifold. Here's a quote from an article on the Super Six:

"The factory installed both cast iron and aluminum intake manifolds, the 
cast iron unit being far more common. There is some dispute about the 
quality of the factory aluminum Super Six manifolds. The aluminum manifolds 
installed by Chrysler in the 1970s were die-cast as two pieces and then 
welded together. Some owners have reported that these e-beam welded aluminum 
intake manifolds suffer from pinhole vacuum leaks due to poor welds and/or 
porous casting."

I have extra cast iron super six intake and exhaust manifolds and kick down 
linkage from my slant six Dutra Dualed pickup project. There here somewhere. 
I really have to clean up the garage one of these days. LOL
