The 2x4 intake WAS listed as available as a repro part some years ago. Whether any were ever made or not is another question as, IIRC, they were being offered by Empire Motors down in TX who had a somewhat troublesome reputation for delivering what they offered. No, none were ever repopped, because the reasons you stated. They offered to make them if you/I put up all the money upfront in cash. jack vines

I looked for months and found an intake for $1000 bucks and only found 1 very rough correct Batwing air cleaner for sale for 2 grand, Daytona Carb felt like they had enough parts laying around to build a correct pair of matching 55 Caribbean carbs but did not think they could build the linkage assembly, a place on ebay reproduces the carb tags with part numbers on them, I heard Ole' Book had two sets for sale but his sold almost instantly. I think a rebuild-able package is worth 4 to 5 grand and a rebuilt restored "concours" package would bring 7 to 8 grand nowadays

Two for the money, a 2x4 manifold and a manual transmission with overdrive set-up. Plus the special lifter cover and chrome plated rocker arm covers.
