Not all "Corvette" manifolds really came off of a Corvette, but saying they did can often bring a higher price from the uninformed. Actually, $50 for a pair isn't bad if they are what you need. Check the alternator mount boss if you running a driver side alternator, because there are at least two different configurations.

For the record, Corvette, truck, and passenger car manifolds all came with the straight down dumps at one time or another. My 60 has them, so it is likely the trucks had them at least until 66. Corvette and passenger came with both 2" and 2-1/2" outlets. Trucks, or at least the light trucks, were 2" only.

You might want to get the heat riser, just to avoid having to replace the long studs with short ones. Take out the flapper if you don't want to run it and re-install the shaft, or just plug the holes. You can also get a spacer block with nothing in it, but it will cost you more than $10.
