A block exhaust manifold solutions
Hi, new here to the forum. Been on another Mopar mail list for over a decade and been a Mopar guy for over 3 1/2 decades (I have had A LOT of Mopars). But haven't messed much with small blocks.
I'm working on my 67 Dart GT. It's been sitting for about 12 years. Time to get it running.
I'm trying to figure out how to deal with the exhaust manifolds.
A bit about the car, 1967 Dart GT, factory 273, ps, a/c, column shift auto. I'm converting over to power disc brakes, to a 73-up K member and upgrading to a mostly stock 360.
I am looking for a set of cast iron exhaust manifolds (with the large ports to accomodate the 360 heads) that will fit this application. I have heard several times that there is a Dakota or truck manifold that will fit this application and will clear the power steering box. If so, can someone either give me a specific application or part number? I have had several sets of Dakota and truck manifolds. But the drivers side manifold has always hit the power steering box. Also I have heard the factory 340 Magnum manifolds are not that good of a flowing manifold and that some of the 360 "log" style manifolds are better. So I'm looking for what others have done as a solution while not going to headers or changing over to manual steering.
Ultimately I want Tri-Y headers. But I don't have the time or money for this right now.
Thanks,
Karl M.
