That doesn't look like a Tii manifold.

It's not!

That looks like the '76 49-state manifold I just refurbished.

Now I have 3 to play with...😁

Those look amazing! Did you coat them with slipplate?

I used POR 15 manifold paint. 

The 49-state manifold (center in my above pic) has not cured, so is darker than the Tii manifold (right).

could’ve bought my tii engine, 5 speed and lsd for only a little more. Maybe I need a BAT ad

Ugh, sales like this hurt my heart.  Someone was taken advantage of and will potentially have a sour taste for the 02 as a result.

Looks like heavy corrosion on many of the parts.  Spray can rebuild?🤷🏻‍♂️💵

That’s the possibility I was contemplating, Jim, when a wondered if the head had been removed for the rebuild… 😯

Only because they allowed it to happen, dont feel bad for them.

They either have too much $$ or not enough sense, probably both.

When you buy using the "oooh shiny!" approach it can easily go sideways.

Seller did pretty much lay it out as a core... 

"Bottom line: I am not making any claims other than that this in a genuine BMW engine taken from a tii produced late in the 1973 model year. As suggested by @M54Sam, bid accordingly."
