I looked at that manifold and the price was certainly right, i didn't have any tools on me though.
What about chopping the runners across and weld ing on a new plenum chamber? Can you measure the diameter of the runners in the L24E manifold for us?
If they are of a reasonable size then at least you get the right bolt up pattern and injector bosses so there is a lot less to fabricate. Plus you can also port out the runners a bit if you have too.

Well yes I would like stock stuff I'm not prepared pay lots of money for it.
How much do you want for the l18e setup? Regarding the chopping up a 6
cylinder manifold idea, I did get an l24e manifold from pick-a-part for $5
but it's unsuitable. The reason being that the plenem chamber is much
thinner at one end than the other so that the end two thirds would not be
able to be joined up. I've seen the l28e manifolds and they're pretty much
the same shape all the way along their length.
