why. I know several guys that put la heads on their magnum engines. They do that to get a better choice of intake manifolds. But why do they also put magnum heads on an la engine? I guess that I don't understand why. If your magnum heads are cracked between the valve seats, new not cracked...

X 2 on the Early A manifolds as best option. Do the fitting on an engine stand so you can make the drivers side fit well before sticking the motor in the car. The interference point is right below the # 7 cylinder port. Passenger side will fit fine, so only the drivers side needs some help. Good...

Yes, that's the problem at the bottom of the port with stock replacement magnum heads. The 340 manifolds are a large LA port and the magnums are a small port head. I made some 16 gauge block off plates like Dion R made and they leak slightly around both sides of the plate. it's not much...

I’m not against an electric fuel pump, might I ask though why that would be a dealbreaker for some? Less authentic? Sacrilege to the principal of keeping it classic? Also, if going with a magnum 318, could I use my 273 timing cover or other existing components that I have of the 273? But again...

A running mildly hop up magnum is the best bang for the dollar, people get too hung up on the cracked head problem. It only matters if rebuilding and generally aftermarket heads are the way to go anyways in that case.

...for information on the magnum exhaust manifolds and I couldn't find what I was looking for, is the exhaust opening bigger on the magnum manifolds vs the LA manifolds? dartfreak75 said that he used manifolds for a 2001 ram 1500. I don't mind spending money for a custom down pipe for the left...

post a wanted ad here in the classifieds and i'm sure something will turn up. there's a set on e-bay right now. either way be prepared to open your wallet wide. if you don't care about originality or eeking out the last bit of performance 318 or 360 manifolds would work fine, as would...

This is the bracket used on the passenger (right side). I was fitting the 5.9 in a 64 Dart with the Magnum manifolds. I have not welded the mount bracket for the 3rd bolt yet in the picture. Everything is tight and I had to slightly dimple the Mildon pan at the steering center link for hard left...

I would prefer to keep everything simple and stock if possible. No need or performance mods or HP expenses. It’ll be a cruiser as mentioned. I’m more interested in simplicity, safety and a healthy invest for future needs if a rebuild should ever arise again in X amount of miles/ use. Having...

I'm building a 360 small block with 8.7 CR a 224 @ .050 duration with a 500 lift and magnum exhaust manifolds. I have two intakes a factory 4bbl (1974) or an edelbrock torker. I like the idea of the weight savings of the torker. But what say you guys/gals?

Just food for thought, but make DARN sure that there's no interference between the downleg of the manifold (esp. driver's side) and the head. I have a Magnum slated for install in a '68 Dart, and when I mounted up the early 340 manifolds, the driver's manifold outlet was hitting the bottom part...

The difference? Slightly less acceleration and slightly more mileage. That’s it. If you cruise the car, you’ll like the 2.76 better. I had that ratio, the 2.76, in my ‘79 Magnum w/a 360/904 on 26” tires and I was able to get up to 20 mpg’s. No headers, dual exhaust off of the exhaust manifolds...

Did you see what I did for that? Shorter nipple, LA bypass hose, 45 degree hose, aluminum connector nipple and 2 Gates heat shrink connectors. No kinks and almost not noticeable.

I doubt there much worse than 318 manifolds, probably 5 hp less at worse, I wouldn't over worry about on a mild early A car. There's another shootout that I can't find anymore that included magnum manifold to and was basically same as the 340. The best was one 340 and one magnum I forget which...

Thanks, I have time and options. I have a real nice driver side, could use a magnum on passenger or go to headers if necessary.

That test was pointless. The stock cam doesn't even have lobes (exaggeration, but close) so the exhaust isn't the limiting factor and this didn't show anything. They should have done the test with the 380 HP crate motor not the 300 HP crate motor. Completely worthless test. If it was me, I...

Mid 20's I would say if you drive it easy. RPM @ 60? You can have some fun here calculating rpm at speed and such. You need to keep the cruise rom at or below 2000 to be efficient. Calculate GEAR, RPM, MPH, TIRE DIAMETER

M1 was the name of a line of manifolds sold by MP- there were single plane, dual plane, big block, small block, Magnum, carb & EFI manifolds...

4spdragtop asked: "So did you have your dual quad manifold drilled for magnum heads?" I have a new set of EQ Magnum heads that are drilled for LA intake manifolds. In the future- I will build a carbureted 360 to replace the OBD1 318 that's in the truck currently and the 360 will use the EQ...

Here's what a 360 Magnum looks like dressed like a "day 2" 340. I used all LA front, including alternator, all brackets, power steering ,pulleys, valve covers etc. One ***** was to get the bypass hose to fit. Also getting a lower rad hose that worked properly. Let me know if I can help further.

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...

But then he can't Troll.

I didn't mean to sound disrespectful here.

I have done a couple magnum swaps. Probably cheaper than most. I buy a truck. Rusted rotted junk for 300 to 800 bucks. Pull the engine, flex plate, starter, and anything else worth saving. Sell any parts that you can sell of the truck quick and easy. Scrap the rest for most of your money...

I have been going through and trying to read as much as I can. Sometimes it’s gets a bit overwhelming with the headers vs manifold debate. Sometimes I just may not be searching in the right threads either I am sure.

What material are you using? Soft copper? Or a composite like Comedic uses on their exhaust gaskets for headers? Something else?

Well pardon me for saying Jeep. Many Magnum manifolds will fit. Some may work. Others not. You need to do some reading. Like I said. There are a lot of threads in the exhaust forum about the subject.

all id be doing is a basic rebuild. i have new LA oil pump and timing chain in the basement. have all the LA brackets and accessories on the car already. so if its just a matter of a rebuild and buying a magnum flexplate and intake it sounds like I'm good. oh and that cam snout extension to...

OK, thanks, I will keep looking, my have to go back to headers, a better set

Maybe it was this article you saw? Not exactly dyno testing, but from a flow perspective the Hughes is still way better than the kegger. Testing intake manifolds for the 5.2 / 5.9 Magnum V8 engines I saw that Engine Masters episode and was pretty impressed with the carb air gap. I think the...
