Junk that I'd ship free if you pay the shipping:

1/ 90-on 8V turbo manifold, cracked in the center (plenum?) area. fixed at great expense by the local Cast iron welder guy.
On bringing it home and finishing the welds just a bit finer, I noticed more cracks that were very visible from the inside but not yet through. I ground them out, possibly paper thin, but not through, and filled them with a ceramic crap I had for sealing leaks. Realized it was an obviously bad idea, manifold has collected dust in a corner since.
Since this style manifold cracks often, it isn't that much worse than any other- nice clean iron in this, btw, should weld easily...weld permantly? I dunno/doubt...

2/ Early turbo manifold. Nothing wrong with it (except the design..) has the mounting tab to the point on the lower block and the wiggly water tube (as opposed to the straight one for N/asp cars).

3/ early style 8V nat asp- non-turbo, cracked at outside of 1&3 join. Only nice thing about it is is is coated with header coating- does that make it worth anything? (FWIW- powder coat application is as good as magnaflux for finding cracks). Iron in this is grey powdery crap, absolutley unweldable.
