5.9MAGNUM EXH MANIFOLDS

I believe someone mentioned 60's 340 manifolds earlier. Probably well-known and written about previously is that '68-9 (Darts also?) 'cuda 340 manifolds as well as the complete exhaust system fits early A's (at least '65-6). My first '65 was the one my Dad put together for me in the late fall of '70. He used the complete system from the totaled '68 'cuda including the chrome tips (notched the rear valance for them) and it was a bolt-in. I have read of other folks doing it with no problem and others that had problems clearing the steering tube. Mine was a manual steering car with a floor shifter. Very costly thing to do with the price of 340 manifolds these days. I was going to replicate that car with the exception of using a 360 and magnum manifolds on the swiss-cheese Valiant :p I wound up giving to RustyRatRod.

The 1964, 65, and 66 273 manifolds are smaller inside than the A body 340's. And these early A body exit more downward to clear the firewall where the 340 ones exit more back and may interfere on the firewall.

I had around 3 sets of 340 A body manifolds but they went "POOF" over the years. One set went to Georgia on my 1965 Dart GT. I had to do some work to fit them but that was in 1984 so I do not remember what I had to do.
