I know this is not the where a request should be however .......

I am pulling my hair out.
I need an inlet manifold for a holden 308 polllution style RED motor. It also needs to be in a fairly uncorroded condition. Can't be blue motor - must be RED.

Please PM if you have one

Thanks Myles

Redline - short answer is no - we have a couple of speed shops here and $400 is just too much money.

The ebay rate is $80-100 for a good used one but there is none going at the moment. Its simply going on my farm ute and it doesn't need to be any quicker. A 308 tonner is not short of grunt.

If you give me a model of Car(s) to go search for (or maybe a phot of it) and how much you want to pay up to, I could maybe pop out to pick'n'pay at Blacktown over the weekend for you.

But don't just say red motor with pollution, you know that means nothing to me.
