Fw: <VV> Eelco Aluminum Exhaust Manifold

[Crawford Rose]

   I  received a call from Marty at the company who owns the EELCO molds.
   He  can  make these headers in aluminum or cast iron.  The molds needs
   some  refurbishing  but  he can put them back in operation if there is
   sufficient  demand.   He  now uses a 719 self hardening aluminum alloy
   which  withstands up to 950 degrees without heat treatment.  He agrees
   that all aluminum melts at 1200 degrees and that his product would not
   be  good  in  any turbo application.  He can make them in cast iron as
   well  if  these  were needed for a turbo application.They would like a
   commitment of 50 sets which is a $10,000 investment.  There is a three
   month  time  between  placement  of  the  order  and  shipping for the
   material  to  cure  and be machined.  If there is sufficient interest,
   please let me know.

   Wow,  looks like two versions, one with two bolt flanges, and one with
   four bolt flanges. And these are aluminum, not some nickel alloy?

     Rick sent these interesting photos.  Note that Eelco advertised for
     use with
     Bill  Thomas  four  carb  setup.  Maybe  its  better  to call it an
     aluminum header
     than a manifold as that is how they sold it.
