If you buy a new brass one in pieces and put it together for your configuration you've got $300 into parts. That turns into a $500 assembled and painted one. I would recommend the stainless one for $500 (I was quoted $789 for the same thing!) and if you want it black (or Ford blue) powdercoat it. You can get good used ones and as suggested clean them and use better solder than days of old. I would make them like the originals to beef up the neck where they always vibrate loose and leak.
