Craigslist, Ebay, random internet searches, other bulletin boards. I'm coming up with nada.

Please throw me some leads for an Offy 5416 and turbo manifold that wont run me $500.

I've got the front clip off of the truck and the engine out. The sweet deals on parts have all but dried up it seems.

Pics to follow.

Just stay patient. I was looking for two months, then suddenly stuff popped up all at once. JalipyJournal, clist, eBay, chevytrucks forum, grand national forums.

Same for me I waited 4 months before I finally found a good deal in c-list, got Clifford intake, headers, and almost new Holley 390 carb for $300. Just have to be patient for online parts.

You also have to remember, that the Inlines, for the most part are still a relatively small niche, and buying stuff new is sometimes the only means to get performance parts when you want need them in a hurry. A lot of this stuff doesn't get used up or recycled very quickly. Just keep a look out and you'll eventually find what you want. I was on the hunt for some 12 Port heads for my race car for over 2 years, and after a lot of dead ends and difficulty dealing with suppliers, I said i'll just make them myself....now I am.
