EK Exhaust Manifold

As above,

I'm looking for a stock exhaust manifold, if the hotbox hasn't seized it's a plus.

Located in vic but need one to finish off my car- will be happy to pay for postage.

Any leads would be appreciated, would prefer not to pay $150+ for new repro ones, would anyone advise me against sourcing old/ used ones?

Cheers,

Re: HydraMatic troubles (missing 2nd gear)

that's why i'm perplexed as to what made it start working again. i flushed the radiator because the night i drove her home missing 2nd gear she was hot all over, radiator boiling rust mud over and it wasn't very pretty.
