I sold a cast iron version a couple years ago. It was a good running one but had sat for a couple years and advised putting in new gaskets just to be sure. Complete with fuel lines, vacuum hoses, steel air cleaner, etc. Sold on ebay for $1200 plus $90 shipping. It went to Canada via New York.

Pick up any mopar magazine and thumb thru it. I believe mancini sells a setup and even jegs sells kits. Price has gone up , probably closer to $2500.air cleaner setup is extra and those have gone thru the roof ! Sorry if my misquote excited you.

Speaking as someone that was running a six pack until a while ago:
The big problem with buying "complete" kits is that they are rarely complete. Parts are nearly always missing, usually the ones that are not needed on all cars. On a kit costing $2500, I would have expected to pay perhaps $300 to 500, to buy these. Even if I expect some to disagree, on top of that, some other things are needed to get them to work perfectly on a C-body.
So quite often, IMHO, an unmolested used set could be a good deal.

You can always try the 6-pac setup you have on either car, just keep a stock intake and 4bbl on the shelf. It a pretty simple job to swap them back and forth.

I think this kit from Herb's is about as complete as they come.

I bought my first six pack from Herbs, didn't need any extra parts at all, only problem i had was fitting the air cleaner, i had to eventually remove the torsion bar type springs for the bonnet (hood). I used 1/2 of the original kick down bracket and 1/2 of the new six pack accelerator cable bracket.
