Do I have an aftermarket manifold?
Well I just pulled off my runners and plenum to re-do the gaskets and I saw these big letters cast into my manifold that say "TPIS Big Mouth." I'm guessing this is aftermarket but it's dumb that the PO put this on and kept the stock runners and everything.
Here's a picture:

You're right, that is dumb. But I'll happily send you a stock manifold in exchange, I'll even pay shipping

put up pics of the runners. Or mesure the opening. They will be about 1.75" if they are the big like AS&M.

See how there's not a "lip" where the runner enters here? Stockers have a lip on the flange.

Re: Do I have an aftermarket manifold?
if it's any consolation, the aftermarket base is more expensive than the runners.
e.g. SLP runners are about $330, the Edelbrock TPI base is about $410.
