Sold 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 / 879 dated C-13-9 or March 13, 1969 - great for an early-ish 1969 / late Q1 HiPo car. And an original CA smog equipped unit - ports 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.

No evident repairs, nothing broken, no cracks visible, ears all good, very, very presentable IMHO. Mating surface nice and straight as shown.

All studs appear to be original, couple threads missing, but very useable IMHO. Camaro Nova Chevelle.

In as found condition as you see it, not fluffed or cleaned.

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

1969 SS396 L35 L34 L78 L89 L72 COPO SS would also fit 1970 up 454 LS5 and LS6 cars too the casting date notwithstanding of course...

Cheers all,
Anthony
