5.9L Magnum questions
Here a manifold header shootout on a stock 4bbl magnum, there's another out there somewhere that has magnums and there basically on par with 340 ones, they found the best combination to be one 340 and one magnum manifold, I forget which ones but was only better by a hp or two.
As for 273 manifolds who knows probably slightly less than 318's, only dyno test I've seen was a set of tti headers gained 10.8 hp on a stock 273 Commando.
