Re: IML: 1960 manifold interchange? - go with a '61

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

60 and 61 interchange.

62-63 interchange with each other.  

To get the alternator you'll likely need to scavenge
from 61's, as most '60's are generators.

If you don't need it this moment, I am eyeing a 61
engine core, and prefer the generator setup, so would
be willing to part with the manifolds for the cost of
shipping and some patience, otherwise a call to the
usual suspects will probably yeild some maniufolds.

I would also suggest looking at the grey manifold
paint that Eastwood offers.  I've had a can on the
shelf for about a year and just did up the 70 and 72
over the weekend.  Results were super!  Made the
engine look 10 years younger!!  It goes on with a
sponge brush and was a no-hassle thing.  It survived 2
hours of driving so far with no discoloration.  Pewter
grey and it "almost" looks like i have new manifolds.
