What's a fair price? C1 parts question.

[Clare Carpenter]

Has anyone bought a used 2 1/2" rams horn 327/340 manifold lately? One or a set? I don't think they're that rare given that they were also used on passenger cars. I would assume, as with anything, price varies with condition and what the traffic will bear. Would like an educted guess-timate or actual price paid. I found one but the seller asked me if I was doing a NCRS resto and I answered yes. Kinda pricey, I think I may have inadvertently caused the price to go up... Just kidding but I don't want to get picked off.

The 901 was used on passenger cars, 300 HP, with the generator mounted on the left (where Corvette expansion tank is). I'm not aware of passenger cars using 902's. They are easily the more difficult ones to locate. Ebay has both listed on a regular basis--seems like the 901's go for $100-125, with 902's $175 and up and up and up.

I have a set I took off a 63 SS 327/300 way back in 1970 that I plan to put on e-bay when I get a digital camera to take a picture of them. At those prices it might pay for the camera.

The LH 901 is the one I need. I could live with $125. The price I was quoted was $225, a bit steamy I thought, even though it is supposed to have no pitting and good stud threads. You never know how good the threads are until you install new studs.
