so I just scored...

I just bought a offy c series intake for 200 bucks at a swap meet and it's in great condition no carbon build up nothing looks like it's never been used is that a good price?

Check the price for one at Summit or JEGS for a comparison to new.

Yes, that's a pretty good price. A new one costs about $265, plus tx. That's funny, we both want to get rid of the header, and you did it. Now we both want to change from the DP, and you did it first.

You'll have to post the differences you notice between the two.

He was a tough one to talk down but it's mine now. I probably won't put it on till next year I plan on pulling the engine to replace the rear main and I also wanted to clean up the engine bay a little more as well maybe give the engine a good paint job not a quick one like I did the first time.

Maybe you have already done it, but I was told by Harte3 to try the one piece pan gasket before changing the rear main. Evidently what may look like the rear main might actually be the gasket.

I'm not sure I can wait until next year to hear about the C.
