Is $100 too much?

Is $102 too much to pay for a bran new (never used) Stg II 4 barrel intake (tall on-center version)?

 

[Kip]

NO

 

[Reginald West]

By no means.

I have several used on and off center, ported by Chapman. Please e-mail me if interested

Bummer. The auction just ended and my $102 bid is a winner.
I probably should have asked earlier, but I had been outbid a couple of times, and all of a sudden late in the auction two higher bidders dropped out, and I was left holding the high bid.
I didn't want to have to spend more than about $100, so I guess it's not so bad.

BTW, here it is:

Dave, I think you did just fine. New, thick mounting flanges will alow you to optimize intake to head alignment. Should make you a nice intake.

O.C. Cantrell has one for sale for $125

Got it!! Good grief this thing is HUGE!!!!!!
The carb flange is way UP THERE. There's likely going to be a hood clearance problem, unless I can get a really low profile dog house built for it.

 

[Jay Wicks]

Dave, you can mill the carb mounting flange to lower the overall
plenum height. This should help with hood clearance issues.

Manifold

If you don't want it I'll buy it from you. Serious.

I'll likely hang on to it, and get the carb flange machined down, as soon as I can find a civilized place to move to
It's too nice of a manifold to give up just yet.
