The reproductions do not have the riser cast to them like the originals, that is to allow the same castings to work on Chevrolet and GMC. The originals were engine specific.

Back in 1963 I had a '60 Biscayne and ordered a dual exhaust kit from Sears Roebuck & Company. The came with the exhaust and tail pipes, mufflers, hangers and a set of Fenton headers. The heat riser was tubes that were piped into the plate that bolted to the bottom of the intake just like the ones they are selling today.

It's worth twice as much as the fenton and more desirable too. I looked for years, but they continually sold for over $500, now they sell for $650 or more. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 224 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 224 | the only pro the butterfly is missing along with the spring , I've got a couple of stock manifolds do you think the butterfly would work in it ??/ Or does any dealer sell the parts ???/ I'll b looking tomorrow ...
