rockauto for the carb. Not sure about the intake manifold. Craig's list, buy sell and trade on this website maybe. If you find a manifold let us know i am looking for one too. Good luck.

For over a year I have been looking for a square bore Offenhauser C series intake for my 300. If you don't find an intake by the time I get my hands on one, you can have my stock intake.

I just replaced my stock intake with an Offy C. I'll sell you the intake and relatively new YFA, but shipping will probably be ridiculous...

For some reason, you can find stock exhaust manifolds for sale new all the time.
However, I don't think I've ever seen a new stock intake manifold for sale. You either have to get an aftermarket 4bbl one, or a used one somewhere.

They're generally available from someone who just installed a 4bbl intake (like above) or a junk yard item.

Its because exhaust manifolds crack all the time and need to be replaced where intakes do not crack or need replacing.

Exhaust manifolds are basically a service part. They warp and crack and break tabs. Intakes don't so nobody bothers making them because limited OEM production and used takeoffs are enough to satisfy demand for the 20-50yr it takes for an engine to go out of widespread service.
