There is a set of mounts on ebay about every 2 weeks or so...
Almost always nicson... now the logs are alittle rarer... and the risers.... I've been looking for almost 18 months to find a pair of nicson risers for my pontiac ( same size as the hemis) you can also check boat wrecking yards its amazig what you can find....

[old rigger]

I was watching some hemi boat stuff on ebay. Both of these sold within the last week or so.
Stuff seems to be out there.

there's a boat yard in Rancho Cordova that has all kinds of stuff. I can't recall the name of it but email Oldsquirt, I'm sure he'll know. That is if you don't know about it already.

I watched those auctions. I was not familiar with the Cal Marine stuff and the Edelbrocks did not have the risers (snails).
I did manage to pick up some Nicson front and rear engine mounts, the rear engine mount was the piece that I was hoping was in usable condition for its age, but the holes for one of the stringer mounting adjuster plates were hacked up. Both stringer adjusting plates are Nicson, but they appear to be for a different year engine mount. The webs were ground down to clear some of the protruding features of the engine mount. The coupler was the only part that was not damaged by improper home machining. I wil have to see if I can repair the rear engine mount. The front engine mount was listed as being altered and would not fit into a restoration project. If I can't fix the front engine mount I will have to look for another one. I will have to be more careful of items offered on eBay.

I found a set of Nicson exhaust manifolds at Chuck Taylor's without risers. Glenwood Marine has some risers that are made for the Chrysler wedge engine exhaust manifold they carry, They said that I might be able to adapt that riser model to the Nicson's. The flange is 4-7/8" diameter with a 3" exhaust outlet. The flanges are undrilled so that you can custom set them.

old rigger,
I was first bid on it until I was shot down by a sniper bidder on the last seconds. I have been talking to Tom Manier of JBP to see if he can locate another one.

[napabob]

YeLLowBoaT,
I was first bid on it, eBay had it removed due to discrepancies on the post. The message below is to me from eBay.
"Our records show that you bid on this listing. We have removed the listing from eBay because it violated eBay policy. You are not required to complete the transaction. The seller is free to relist the item in accordance with eBay's online policies. If the seller relists the item, you are free to bid on that item."
I am going for the HEMI Hot Heads raised aluminum intake manifold for a single marine carburetor.

No rush, I just want to add them to my budget for February.

Thank you (and your dad) for helping me out in obtaining the exhaust system that I was looking for (a polished set).

I need opinions on the Casale shown above. The U. S. patent number puts it with a 1964 inventor publication.
Parts and service are still available. I have requested images for all six.
Ease of operation

The guy that is selling it is out of England and he is saying that it is new and has never been installed.
