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

 

i agree so dont buy it?

 

Ohh I wont. I just saw it and was like WTF is this??!!!?? lol

 

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.

 

Are these worth the money at all??

 

I dunno... looks a bit sloppy to be a crawford part

 

they just didnt look good... but if im not mistaken they did thier jobs when they first came out.

 

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.

 

it is an original before they had the cast version. i had one of my first z before i had researched and found out they had a cast one. but yeah lol looks like crap.

 

Wow I haven't seen one like that in eons. Truly a classic piece to own
