Lemme guess, you're looking at the ridiculously-priced aluminum one on eBay?

Read this, this, and this; you may decide it's wiser to pick an iron one.

That appears to be the Ebeam welded "leak prone" manifold. They are either good or Bad. I have repaired some with a coating of epoxy and paint, however the jury is still out on how long that will last.
