[FOR SALE] More exhaust manifolds

[Treblig]

I have a 65 Barracuda with a 318 in her. I need a replacement set of manifolds. My originals went away to a friend. Then I found out my headers don't fit the 65, Please let me know if you can help me. Thanks Al, I live in Western Washington

Al, I'm going to need the help of other folks here at FABO to solve your problem. I currently have all the large hole manifolds that are the best to use on A bodies. I have the "machined" Dakota driver (which have been installed in 65/66 A bodies, I have the 340 driver which is used and fits in 67/68/69 A bodies and I have the 360 "machined" magnum passenger manifolds which have been installed in 65/66/67/68/69 A bodies by other members. I have even sold the 360 magnum and Dakota manifolds to members who use them on their Mopar trucks and other vehicles with small block engines. I haven't been advertising lately because I'm still in the process of sand blasting the manifolds before painting. I didn't want to start getting orders before they were ready for sale. I have taken advance orders before but I've found that once I start advertising I get more orders than I can fill. Anyway, to answer your question....Whether you can use these manifolds or not will depend on numerous things: Do you have P/S or Manual??? Do you have column shift/auto/console??? Automatic or standard trans?? Do you have old (pre 70s heads)?? What type of motor mounts are you using?? Do you have stock front suspension/K member?? Are you willing to make a few modifications to your steering if needed?? If you answer all these questions I and others might be able to help. I know for a fact that other members have used some of these manifolds on their 65/66 A bodies and there a few threads here that show what problems you might run into and how to solve them. I will help you all I can, I own a 69 318 Barracuda w/P/S and the 340/360 mag combo works perfect. All the manifolds I sell are 2 1/4" (minimum) exit hole. PS - Due to customer demand I am also starting to sell the exhaust pipe stub that goes with these manifolds. One flared end for the Dakota/360 mag and one flat flared for the 340 driver. These come with a short piece (10 -12 inches) of 2 1/4" pipe and the pipe flange to bolt the pipe to the manifold. Treblig

Gil,
I have a AT on the floor, no power steering(arm-strong), the motor is actually from an 81 Chrysler Cordoba, Original motor was removed before I purchased the car. All original on the motor mounts, I just replaced them. No mods desired, want her to be a parade car, just a weekend driver type of ride. Not looking for creating a race car. Original K frame is in good condition. What type of mods were you thinking I need for steering? My trans is the original one A-904. Cable shift through the center console hump. Brand new heads for the 81 motor, I am just concerned about the steering column clearance. It is snug but I don't see any issues if the manifold is a 360, same block size. I am going to see the guy I gave the originals too. I want to get some specs off of them if he doesn't want to let me have them back. I don't like to give something and ask for them. I will get casting part numbers for reference. I believe 2 1/4 outlet, I can verify what is under the car as well. Thank you very much for the quick response. Suspension is stock as well. Again, thanks v/r Al

For the driver's side you need the 53006619 360 DAKOTA casting number for the passenger side it should be 53009376. Those are positively the large hole manifolds but not as large as the ones I sell. The way your car is set-up (motor, trans, shifter and manual steering) is the most desirable set up for the large manifolds. If you buy back (or get) the ones your friend has they won't flow as much as the ones I sell but it's strictly up to you???FYI - NO factory manifold was 2 1/4" exit hole EXCEPT the 340, all others must be properly machined to get them out to the size of the 340.
Also there are many, many 360 magnum manifolds out there...the vast majority ARE NOT the large hole manifold. I know which ones are and are not large hole, but none are 2 1/4".

I am in search of the drivers side manifold only. It would be the 340 version. I believe they are called the 340 six pack exhaust. It would be the one with the 2 1/4 exit and the flat face instead of the coned exit. I notice you don't post prices. Can you tell me if you have one and what you would like for it please? Thanks for your help!

Nice work on the manifolds.

A couple of questions

Have you looked at the 53010188 manifold for the passenger side?

While you are out harvesting manifolds, do you ever find any of these (the top one):

Thanks for helping us keep this hobby alive!

[TF360]

Looks good-Do you know if the factory 1974 360 hp mainifolds ( a-body) have the 2 1/4 outlet on the drivers side. They should be the same as the 73 340 drivers side manifolds. Or do only the earlier 340 manifolds have that 2 1/4 hole (drivers side)

NO!! The 1974 360 HP manifolds do not have the 2 1/4" outlet. Only the 340s (and only some of them) have the 2 1/4" outlet. Some 340s have a 1 7/8" outlet. Some 360 manifolds and some Dakota manifolds have a 2 1/8" outlet, I "machine" the 2 1/8" outlet out to 2 1/4" (plus) but the '74 360 does not have the large outlet. The large hole 360 manifold only came on certain MAGNUM engines for very few years. There was no MAGNUM engine in '74.

I know the driver's side '74 360 manifold has the flat flange, so why wouldn't it have the 2 1/4" outlet?

 

[Treblig]

I've spent a lot of money trying to figure out which manifolds flow the best and which manifolds fit A bodies best. I have never found any factory "small block" manifold that had a 2 1/4" exit hole EXCEPT the 340 manifold. Then still, there were many 340 manifolds with only a 1 7/8" exit hole so NOT EVEN ALL 340 manifolds are created equal!! The only other manifolds that even come close to the 340 are the magnum/Dakota manifolds and some Jeep manifolds. These have a 2 1/8" exit hole (barely). I "machine" them out to just over 2 1/4" to help them match the 340 driver. But again, these large exit hole magnum/Dakota manifolds were only manufactured for a few years. If anyone can show me a good pic of the '74 manifold you're talking about with a scale/ruler over the exit hole, then I would be convinced (further educated). But I don't think it will ever happen. The only reason we have the few Dakota/magnum manifolds is because they were needed to suck all the power possible out of the magnum engines, especially the 360 magnum.
Now to be fair....there may be some other SB Mopar manifolds out there that have a large exit hole BUT THEY WILL NOT WORK ON AN A BODY. I know of a least one SB Mopar large hole (2 1/8") manifold that doesn't fit A bodies very well at all.
This is why I sell the other types of large hole manifolds (magnum passenger/Dakota driver's/small hole 340 manifolds etc) because some members buy them for their early Dodge truck or Hot Rod build that is not an A body. While some of my manifolds won't fit an A body they will fit Polaras and other types of B bodies as well. So for those who don't like, want or can't afford headers I offer these alternatives.

I am currently researching the late 60s 340 "large hole" manifold and am looking for someone to try it on an early A body (I have two in stock right now!!). The late 60s 340 is designed differently from the 70s 340, it is also more rare. It has the same 2 1/4" exit hole but is sleeker, less bulky and will give you more clearance around the steering box, steering shaft areas (SEE PICS). Hopefully I can find a simple solution for the early A bodies because I'm always getting requests for manifolds that fit the early As.


The last pic is a Dakota after machining!!

Interesting. So they pulled the manifold in towards the head when they added the heat stove. Wasn't aware of that. I thought the only difference was the flange for the stove.

You are aware that the '74 360 Duster used the same manifold on the driver's side as the '72 and '73 340 right? You keep saying "340 manifold", just making sure I understand what you mean.

Here is a link to a set of manifolds off a Dart Sport with a casting date of 1-15-74 and the same casting number as the '72 and '73 340 manifold. He claimed it had a 2 1/4" outlet, but no picture. I only offer it as proof they were still casting the same manifold as late as '74.

Well you have a few questions here and I want to make sure I don't confuse you with a wishy washy answer. The late 60s 340 "Large hole" driver looks like it sweeps up quicker and higher than the 70s 340. So, in reality the late 60s 340 was designed so that it was closer to the head/engine where the 70s 340 pulls away from the engine (for the heat shield). This is why the late 60s 340 driver should be more likely to fit the Early As with less interference. If you look at the pics I posted (with the long straight edge) you can see that the late 60s 340 is designed so that it sweeps toward the engine and further up and over everything. If you look closely you can also see that it has a flat section where it goes past the steering shaft while the 70s actually has a hump. This is one of the areas that early As have a problem with (clearance on the steering shaft). With the late 60s manifold there is no hump to hit the steering shaft. Since it rises up quicker and is a little thinner it should also clear the steering box easier.
As for your other question about the link you posted....I have found that they continued to make (manufacture) the 340 manifolds into the 77/78 time frame so, yes, you will see 74/75/76 casting dates on the large hole (2 1/4" ) 340 manifolds. In the link you posted you see two manifolds (L & R). although the seller says that the passenger manifold is 2", in reality it's only 1 7/8". The passenger 340 in the "link" is a 340 manifold but Mopar made many, many 340 manifolds that were only 1 7/8" exit hole. I've never seen a 2" 340 manifold except the ones I "machined" out to 2". I've had many (have some now) of the 1 7/8" 340 manifolds, Members with early As like to use them as they flow better than the stock 1 5/8" manifolds and they are small and fit easier also.

PS - When I say 340 manifold, I'm talking about manifolds that were made for the 340 engine. Some have a 2 1/4" exit and some have a 1 7/8" exit. Many "ebay" sellers love to sell the large hole 340 driver matched with the small hole 340 passenger. It's an easy way to make money because the 340 small hole manifold really isn't worth that much so they sell the small hole with the large hole and are telling the truth when they advertise "340 driver and passenger manifold for sale". I have a small hole 340 manifold for sale right now on FABO but I advertise it as such and sell it much, much cheaper than the large hole manifold. Sometimes I have to buy the mismatched pair just to get a good large hole 340 driver to match with one of my 360 (2 1/4") magnum manifolds.
The first two pics are of another small hole 340 manifold. The last pic is the "REAL DEAL" pair of 340 "Large Hole" driver and passenger manifolds. These "REAL DEAL" 340 manifolds sell all the time on ebay for 600/700 dollars. This is why I came up with this alternative..a large hole 340 driver paired with a large hole magnum for only $320. You can see the big difference in the shape of the large hole 340 passenger and the small hole 340 passenger.
Hope I answered all your questions!!

Sorry, I wasn't really asking a question about the difference between the driver's side manifolds. I do feel more educated in that I can see why some with early A-Bodies would say that a 340 driver's side manifold works and other don't. I'm clear on all that, and didn't know the later one was "shorter", so thanks.

Only question I have is - are you saying that both manifolds in the first picture in post #47 have large outlets? Or to state it a different way, do you agree that the seller in the link is correct that the driver's side manifold he was selling had a 2 1/4" outlet?
