Not even worth it..for an LS1 intake(97-2000). You can pick one up cheap, as many are sitting in garages as paper weights, and door stops.

I can see if the one I pulled off on Saturday is still in the recycle bin. If so you can have it for the cost of shipping. I didn't have a place to store it so I tossed it out.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I wasn't asking to repair for my manifold. There is a LS -6 manifold on e-bay that has a crack around the vacuum port. That's why I am asking. I am looking for the good intake manifold since I have the paperweight variety. Sorry I didn't tell all the story.
