WTB Early 1963 HP 289 parts

Hi Everyone,

This may be a long-shot but perhaps someone might have these items in their secret squirrel stash and they're interested in selling?

I'm searching for an early C3OE-9425 cast iron 4V intake manifold with a casting date of A, B or first week of C.

Or perhaps an early aluminum low-rise 4V manifold?

I spoke with Lee Holman a few weeks ago about potentially buying one of his newer castings of the low-rise but he informed me that they moved all casting out of California. They're hoping to find a new foundry currently. He said they might have new castings available in 6 months at the earliest but no promises.

Also searching for another set of C3OZ-6200-C HP289 connecting rods. Early style bolt heads would be a plus but not a deal breaker. I probably just missed the set that Westcoast66 offered recently.

If anyone has any other early 1963 specific HP parts, I may be interested. Thank you!

Kind Regards,

C3AE

Update:

Found the original C3OE-9425-E cast iron 4V intake manifold to my engine the other day while digging through boxes of parts that I haven't touched in decades! Was searching for the fuel pump...Still haven't found that yet, LOL.
