Have you considered another inlet manifold from a wreckers for like $5 cash??
You could get it welded, probably cost $50. You could use some 2 part gunk, probably cost 15. You caould wrap tape around it, pretty cheap. Why not just use a 2 pack epoxy from supermarket? |

| Ha I did that once. They snap pretty easy when you bolt them on crooked. I reckon the best way to go would be to get a new one. Least messing around. Go for an early model one (pre-emmision) from a TX or something, they seem to flow alot better. |
