I have a brand new Edelbrock Rectangle Port Performer RPM Air Gap intake manifold (genuine) if anyone wants it?
I was stupid enough to buy without confirming oval or rectangle (
) so if someone has an oval port Air-Gap RPM or similar they'd like to sell, please let me know!!! 
Also does anyone know if there is a specific manifold required for Vortec heads on a Gen VI BBC? I've been told the oval port fits but I though it best to ask first this time!

Good point, price would help!
I'm only after what I paid for it but I paid in Australian Dollars so the $350 I paid now works out to about US $20!!
Seriously though, I'll take US$180 ( plus postage ) I'll get you a quote if you like?

Wow, that was easier than I thought. Australia post online calculator quotes (AUS) $162 for air mail (3-7 days) and $96 for surface (6-10 days).
Judging by todays exchange rate (ouch) works out to be roughly 1 goat and a block of cheese or (US) $100 (air) or $60 (surface).
Man the current exchange rate is bad! And I still need to buy exhaust manifolds!!!

Not sure if this will work with the new style manifold. I don't think that it will seal the ports. And I think it's the other way around oval intake on rec. heads with rec. gaskets so as not to create turbulance. At least that what was told to me

Won't this cause way too much turbulence along the intake tract? I mean, people port match their inlets to the gasket to avoid even the smallest difference so stepping from rectangle to oval would be HUGE wouldn't it?
