Original ones if used on a stock motor should have cast iron exh crossover rivited to the intake by the sheet metal heat sheild.
Also the heat Crossover’s themselves are different between 69 thru 71 and 72.

The repro one have those badly misaligned port exits and the depth of the plenum is not as deep as a original one.
The also means all the runners are not as tall as a original one.

I have heard tell that there is a 5 to 8 hp difference in a original and the repro!
