I think this is the post Woody is referring to. His price is exaggerated as was all of his prices and the 483 story is also not accurate. Thanks Lance

They are for sure 62 and cast in 62, i think Dennis is referring to the later manifolds when he says or asks if any 63 came out with long tubes. I think his first statement is in reference tot he 62 version. There is also a magazine cover with these on a 406. Cant remember now what it is but the engine is orange and the headers are white.

I believe the issue was the 406 /390 z bar that is used on the shorty manifolds didn't work with long tube manifolds. So they redesigned the one which is further out to clear the long tubes, and used on the 427 cars. The ones I saw where in the far back row to the fence in about the middle area at Carlisle , and where not Jays , I stopped at his spot also . Thanks Lance

Dennis form over on the old FE forum had this to say about the c2 long manifolds.
The delay in release of the long branch manifolds in production was due to the non availability of the Equalizer Arm Assy. The date was around Nov 1962. Any of these 1962's with long branch manifolds were NASCAR or drag cars. Whether any 1963 406's were built in production with long branch manifolds, don't know. My 1963 406 6V XL had short branch and was built at Chicago Assy Plt around Oct 62.
Not aware of the late 406 and 427 block being the same casting. Engineering documentation certainly doesn't support this. The real real early 427 block was not cloverleafed, but whether any were used in production vehicles, I doubt it. Maybe some of the 427 Phase 1 units built in Dec 1962.
Regards,
Dennis
While they are probably the rarest version minus the aluminum versions or cammer versions, you do see a set pop up form time to time. There was also a set at Carlisle this year. I also know a guy that has two sets. None of the sets i have seen have dates codes , and all carry the C2AE A casting numbers.

Don't use a company called Masney transportation. They use enclosed trailers and still managed to total the wagon I got from Werby. Then tried to say it was my fault , fought me the whole process for three months then screwed me on the payment end so I couldn't replace it. Stay far far away from them. On a side not many years ago I used Blue star auto movers, they are open trailer. They at least got the car to me, but did damage the hood , but paid quickly and easy to deal with.
