Default 81 intake manifold?

Anyone have any infomation about the intake manifold on an 81? I am having a hard time finding an intake that has 4 water ports. two on each end. Is this normal? all aftermarket shops i have check only have two ports. Any Ideas? Did this intake only come on the 81? Anyone know where I can find a used one?
Thanks
Marc

Apparently, it is one year only. My NCRS Specifications Guide shows PN 14033058 for the 1981 L81 engine.

The hardest part of having an 81 is ALOT of parts are 1 year only.

Default 81 Manifold

Thanks for all your input.. I finally took the old one to the machine shop. He used a heilcoil to repair the broken screw holes. I then used some of the metal putty to fill in the small crack. after sanding and a little paint it looks good and it seems to be working great.
