Driverside exhaust manifold

[mycuda]

Maybe re hashing old threads but before a fab a cast driverside manifold for my 65 Dart magnum. Wanna now any other options oth than 340 manifold ($) with not much better flow than 273 dinky set up.
Compared to the PS that I found thru Dorman that's huge.




Thanks

Dave

Forgot to mention 4spd......

Great thread.
Even 340 hipo. Will leave no option but cut fender well close to UCA. BOLT.

If I do that might as well put fender well headers.
To me that's a sin ....fender wells on a small block.

Especially a 1 5/8" tubes

You could always run TTI's. No cutting involved but pricey. That's what I'm running in a 65 Barracuda.

4spd?

4spd?

Yup you bet, and I'm using the large bel housing not the 9.5. I have a magnum 406 small Block so I didn't think the small clutch would hold up. It was really tight but doable. I have no rubbing on the headers for clutch movement.

What an odd point of view;
I have never heard that opinion before.

Awesome info thanks.
But if keep car /convertible frame ties.
I did alot of work to save this car.
Front floor pans. Rear fabbed pans 8 3/4 springs to rail for tires.
Left front frame rail. Car should've been junked. I call it Frankendart..lol
But kept it alive but just around town car.
Both quarters replaced Cuda gas cap fab.


Anyhow thanks for info appreciate it.

Your original statement said the drivers side and both of those are passenger side manifolds.

The magnum manifolds are said to flow more so it would be a no brainer which one to use. The ‘92 magnum manifolds had a 2.5” exit, had a couple pairs back when they were new.

I can offer no advice on fitment of a drivers side setup as my only early A body had a 340 and fenderwell headers when I got the car.
