Mike, Parts like a stock intake manifold, very very rairly need replacement. No one except the dealer will have it. The only problems I've had with these are pin holes from rust, that lose vacuum. The fix is to weld it, quick and easier then purchasing new or used. Try E-bay. These should be a dime a dozen, from people who have installed vent hole in there block. Eric
