I am needing an exhaust manifold for an AKRON-HAL overhead set up that uses the tubes and ball bearings to actuate the valves. Any leads greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Bruce

Have you checked with Kevin? (Guessing you have but putting it out there anyway)

I have only seen one of these units in the wild and that was over 20 years ago and don't recall if that one had the manifolds.

I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Hey there Bruce,
If you had asked me last year, I probably would have sold mine. Bout that time I even offered to loan it to the Speedway Museum
I have since decided to use mine, but did make up some header flanges that I am willing to part with. They are 1/2” thick stainless steel

Just in case, here is a pic of the manifold Bruce is looking for…
Please disregard all the shiny stuff

Kevin, thank you for the offer of the flanges, and thank you for the picture of desired manifold.
When I acquired the rocker assembly from you, you included a pair of the pictured exhaust flanges.
I too want to run the exhaust under the frame so as to not modify the torpedo hood in any way.
