He says he doesn't do them because of problems with cracks and getting good welds with the nickel he uses. Let me see if I can retrieve his email to me.
Found it.... Here's a copy of the email he sent me from last June.
"Fred,
I'm still welding manifolds and the price is the same. But the bad news is-I've really discouraged orders for the late chevy 6 manifolds 230-292. I've done several (probable a couple dozen) and had problems welding them, seems to be a crude grade of cast iron. I've also observed more cracks in stock late manifolds than in early ones(216-235, I've done over 150 of them).
It seems like about 1 out of 3 just wont weld and must be trashed. For this reason I just cant offer to to split yours.
Thanks, Mike"
