Scott:
 I did a little research and found that the head he has is a Stage 3
Velocity head. It comes with the manifold fully ported and polished to match
the head. Its also complete with a 3 angle valve job on stock valves. 
Thats why hes going to use that manifold with the head. It just happened to
be on an A-2 car was all. It will have to include the swaping over of the
fuel system, as he has said. 
Stage 4 is a fully ported and polished head/manifold and with much larger
valves.
