Cracked intake manifold, Help.
 

Hello everyone! Just finished installing new long block 4.3 in the boat, put water to it to check for leaks and regretfully found the intake to be cracked, got to love this stuff. The 4bbl 12 bolt on the '95 is almost impossible to find, new or used, maybe someone can tell me where to find one or should I go with a new Edelbrock and be done with the Mercruiser intake. I'll have to change my chock to electric but that is not an issue, Thanks in advance!

I'd buy an aluminum one and be done with it. Are you sure none of them will accommodate a manual choke?

I sure that some do, my carb has a heat riser to operate choke, I figured it was a good time to change. I have looked everywhere at new manifolds, one place says the Edelbrock Performer will not work with the balance shaft 4.3, others do not know, I am going to call Edelbrock monday when someone is there with a little more knowledge, Thanks. Open for suggestions.
