NEED "ROUND PORT" MANIFOLDS / HEADERS for 2 66 2+2 4-SPEED..

[BIG BLOCK JAMO]

I'm in a world of hurt. I rebuilt my 66 421 2+2 motor with Edelbeock aluminum heads.
I had the factory long branch manifolds but now they won't bolt-on because the heads
are the "round port". Paul @ Ram Air Restorations told me that the ONLY factory manifold
that will fit. The pair on EBay is $10,000.... Looks like I forced into a set of headers. The
problem here is nobody makes 66 Catilina headers w/round point flanges.. ANYBODY know
of someone that can make headers for me or ANY advise as what to do???

Any chance selling the current heads and buying Edelbrock D port heads is an option?
Otherwise check with local car clubs to find a shop that can custom make headers.

I'll sell the heads. They were ported & polished by my friend
Pat Musi. I was SO fired-up about this set-up. The Edelbrock
"D" heads are out of stock. t's been since January that I've
been on this build and now this.... do you know of anybody that
builds headers?? I'm in the Los Angeles area..

Check with LA based car clubs

Unfortunatly I don't think anyone makes off the shelf round port headers for the earlier B Bodies. You could look into custom headers but they would be expensive. The RA manifolds for a 68-72 A-Body fit the later 68-79 cars with minor modifications needed. But I have not seen round port manifolds in the earlier cars.
They never put them in a large car at the factory, only A & F Bodies.

Sorry for not having any other Ideas.
