I spied these today on Ford-Y-Block.com .....

http://www.ford-y-block.com/Ramhorn.htm

They look brand new ... are they reproductions? The site says 'in stock.' But reproduction or not, what I really want to know is how much $$$!

 

Call and ask. I bet they are in the $300 - $600 if they are new castings. They could be as much as a grand, but they won't be warped or rotted like the 50 year old rams horns found on ebay for about the same money.

 

Ouch. Something tells me a set of headers are in my future.

 

Ramshorns are nice manifolds unless you are going for some serious power then tuned headers are the best choice IMHO. Doesn't your truck run an I-6?? or is this for another project? I'd call and ask, I was guessing at the price based on the cost of the Blue Thunder intake manifold for the Y-block that is about $350. If those are NOS who knows what they will go for.


BTW, you have an awesome truck, you did what I never got around to doing with my first ride (61 f100). It was a decent drivable truck when I first got it at 15 years old and put a tranny, tires and rebuilt all 4 slave cylinders, replaced the pads, installed a new starter, replaced junk carb with junk yard find and a master rebuild kit, rebuilt heater core, tune up, battery, starter, front wheel bearings (those were a PITA). Truck looked alright, I was in Austin, but truck had lived somewhere with salt way to long. Ate rockers out, front cab mounts where gone including the sheetmetal of the cab floor where they attached. Added lap belts with welded I-bolts and 4 inch washers and drove it to high school the day I turned 16. I drove it for 1 year and then started doing body work and after I graduated went to college and then got married then moved and finally gave the truck away about a year ago. Now it's getting most of the stuff re-done again to be road worthy after sitting for the better part of 12 years.

 

My truck is running a six-cylinder right now, but I'm building a 292.

 

Sweet, I love the 292. That's why I kept all of the parts I came across over 12 years of scrounging for my truck. The only thing I unloaded were the 3 dueces as I learned those are a mistake if you want to drive the thing regularly and reliably, and I did. Some day I will build the engine, then I will find the vehicle to put it in , though that may be bass ackwards.

 

These have been a "long time coming". They will probably cause the used ones to come down a bit.

They're still going to have be priced compettitively with headers to make people want to buy them I would think.

Has anyone called them and asked about the price?

 

wow, you guys were right on it, $379, $200 for one, i see headers in my future too!
