Roush Single Plane green manifold

Hey Kevin,
Just curious. Why would someone produce a "Green " manifold ? I would think that all of the mounting points etc. would be uniform for all Clevelands .

I'm Sorry I had to go to a funeral and was gone for a few days. Also My friend who wanted to seel these items has informed me that he would prefer to sell on e-bay only for now. My apologies for this, I only figured to give you guys first chance on these parts. Again my apologies and sorry for the confusion.
And Jeff, I certainly am not an expert on these things, but my understanding is that in this situation you could drill this to specifically fir any parts that might have been machined down or milled where there might not be a perfect fit. You could machine to get a perfect fit on the ports and thin drill the holes for the bolts etc.

Your friend is probably a wise man and realized that intake is worth a lot more than $80, probably in the $400 range.

That manifold finished cost about $275 new. That's about what I paid for mine and then sold it for.

Apparently Ford Racing/Motorsport was making the raw castings available to whatever engine builder wanted them. The raw casting was probably in the $150 range.

A shop is probably going to charge something like $250 to $300 to mill the top, sides and drill the holes for you. The casting was made to accommodate 9.5 or 9.2" blocks. There is a lot of meat to remove for a 9.2 block.

The only advantage to this raw casting is that it can be ported to match the final configuration of you heads, block deck height and carb angle.

To a custom engine builder that is going to build an $80,000 race engine, presuming that this manifold could accommodate an $80,000 engine, it has value. To run it on the street now, it's worth less then $100 in it's current configuration unless you have your own mill and it doesn't cost you anything to machine it.

It isn't anything special. It's a lousy manifold for a Pantera or even a Mustang unless you want to run a Pro Stock type hood scoop with it. The thing is a mile high. In my very humble opinion take the $100 you can get for it.

Everyone is welcome to their own opinion. However I like this manifold and it is the very same manifold that is running on my car and the same manifold that Hall has sold with their Ultra Brute engine for Huge money for years. I can only speak about my experience with the manifold, which have been good. And it makes big numbers in the upper RPM range, which is great for guys who are going to run their car hard or road race etc.

And yes the one difference in my manifold is that it is for a clevor (windsor style) engine and this green manifold is for a cleveland style.

I have that very manifold on my new stroker 393C, that engine makes 620HP and was built to race at 7500rpm. Not too shabby in my opinion.

I had the same manifold on my drag car, n/a 351 ran 9.7 @140 mph. That'll do !!

is greenie still for sale, if so is it for a 9.2 or 9.5 block thanks larry

Hi, I'm sorry it was sold. Roush claims it would a windsor block, a Race block, and a cleveland block. They said they just made one casting, and when ordered they machined it to fit the block it was ordered from.
