Default Is this a legit Crawford manifold!!??




I have never seen a Crawford Manifold like this. It looks like a hacked factory manifold with a Crawford sticker on it to me.

That probably is the real thing. That is what the first generation Crawford plenums looked like.

It wasn't until later that they changed to the sand cast design.

Send that pic to Crawford and I'm sure they would be able to validate it up or down for you.

That looks like an earlier Crawford plenum. Not sure if its an original since those, believe it or not, look even more hacked than that one. The final cast version in black is what most people associate with Crawford but it started out as a simple way to improve airflow to the front two cylinders.
