Found this at a local consignment shop for $25. Anybody identify it? Is it worth something or pass it?

I can read the cast numbers clearly when enlarging the pic. My last post is the right P/N with the link to Chevy Performance.

Performance wise I would guess it falls someplace in between a factory cast iron manifold and a Performer (or similar). Its not as tall as a Performer and still utilizes EGR functionality.
On a bone stock engine I'm not sure if you notice much of anything other than weight savings.
Definitely worth the price to try it out though.

Looks like a EGR aluminum manifold that was used on Z28s late 70's to early 80's . They aren't much for performance , you can find them at car show flee markets for $35-$45 . Don

Personally, I'd yank a cast iron intake and run that one without even a second thought.

Just closely check the 4 corner bolt holes. They look ok in the photo but it's not certain. If the intake ever fell and hit the corner first good chances the eye will be cracked. It's not the end of the world however as a decent welder with a tig or even mig can fix it. (aluminum of course)
