LOL! the m code 69 cuda driver's side factor exhaust manifold may be the most ridiculous part "ma mopar" ever released!! trying to wrap a cast iron exhaust manifold around a steering column shaft must have made the mopar engineers just laugh and laugh. i've read that it was Hurst that came up with this "work around" for the few prototype m cudas that plymouth had them build. i do know that that part may be the most rare part there is for any mopar muscle car from any year. finding that manifold is like finding one of the original "only 69 produced" all aluminum Chevy ZL1 427 blocks from 1969. i'm planning on putting headers on the m car i'm finishing now. i do have a 69 383 4 sp barracuda with TTI headers on it. i just put a borgeson ps box on that car and a mini starter. those two items did free up some room for the headers. it would be AWFUL if your m car ever got hit on the driver's fender and that exhaust manifold got broke. i imagine it would take a year and at least $1000 dollars to find another one of those "pretzel" manifolds!
