Default Having problems finding carburetor manifolds...

I did try the search first still not having any luck besides some 800.00 Edlebrock Mani...

There have to be some other options. This will be going into an RX7 and I would PREF to not use the Fuel Injection setup but at this point I am not doing well finding other options.

Any help? I am about to give up on all of this and sell my LQ4 and LS6 items and just get another LTx motor.

You really only have two choices on the carb manifolds. Either Edelbrock or GM Performance Parts

Our GM carb intake isn't hard to find at all, and costs under $400.

That price if for the intake manifold and the ignition computer. The intake manifolds alone are about $260 to $400 depending on which you chose. The Edelbrock Performer RPM runs up to about 6500 rpm and surprisingly produces more low end torque than the fuel injection intake but slightly less HP.
The Edelbrock Victor Jr. has weaker torque than the fuel injection set up but has similar top end horsepower to an LS-6 intake according to Vette magazine engine dyno tests.

For ignition, most guys are recommending the MSD 6010 stand alone box. It is plug and play with the gen 3 motors.
