Looks like the real thing to me Tim. I don't how much the heli-coils hurt the value since they won't be seen but that's up to the owner.

Tim,

I agree with Chick...   it's an original intake.   IMO, the heli-coiled Thermostat housing retainers is an improvement.. as it greatly strengthens the threads and is totally hidden once installed.  Probably half the 'used' intakes available on the market need helicoils in the threaded holes.

Old thread, I know - but interested to see this just posted for comments over at Team Camaro:
https://www.oerparts.com/product/1969/chevrolet/camaro/parts/3932472.html
Going to email OER to ask if that's really being reproduced, or some sort of a typo.

It would be interesting to know if it has the GM part number and "W". I was told on the corvette tripower intake that there was two, one with the above and one without. Serious price difference. The one with is available to anybody for $2300.00 and the other only through certain dealers, usually included as a package "Hot Rod" setup.

My money is on that part being on "backorder forever" status.

Had a response from OER to say according to their system, the reproduction manifold is either in tooling or already in production, but to keep checking back on the website, as they can't confirm when they'll be available on the shelf.....

I'm with Stingr69 on that one, and if it ever does come out, it will have obvious deviations from original...
