early 1969 BBC 396 3909879 drivers side exhaust manifold

[AnthonyS]

Hi Friends, another rare item here.

A lifelong California left / driver's side big block BBC 396 or 427 exhaust manifold. 3909879 dated I-7-8 or September 7, 1968 - great for an early car. And an original CA smog equipped unit - port were plugged properly early in it's history, I'm sure. RARE date with smog IMO.

This side is the hard side to locate as we all know, the 178 or 3916178 units are surprisingly much easier to locate, or at least that's been my experience.

Hard to find piece and a great early date! Many photos below, take a look at this one. The best cars deserve the best parts. Of course, if dates don't interest you, this is still a great CA rust, and more importantly, pit free original unit. take a look at the photos again.

nothing broken, no cracks visible, ears all good, very, very presentable IMHO.

All studs nice and useable, one is a bit tweaked from the heavy unit being put down a little too enthusiastically I'm guessing, I'm sure it can be straightened with little effort.

Not easy to find these things, but here you are!
