Nice van by the way. Just be careful not to heat the manifolds too much as it makes the metal brittle. | | | Re: Purchased 1982 Chevy G-20 Shorty | Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 1,389 old hand | OP old hand Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 1,389 | As always, thanks for the tips and the comments. I got a buddy who claims hes got a set with good studs but he's the buddy we all have that has the gold plated parts ($$$). I will find some today. Hope to put some fire in those holes this weekend.
Thanks, Scott

The picture they show is not the correct manifold.

I will try and get some new pics posted this weekend.

The detailed engine looks sweet. Looks like it will be a nice runner with many trouble free miles.
