The newer Jeep SRT's with the 6.4 use a nice swoopy cast manifold that might fit (fairly cheap to). The older 6.1 Jeeps (06-10) used a shorty header from the factory that look quite compact, might be worth a try. Looks like JBA makes a header for the Hemi Durangos

Thanks for the replies.I don't think it is the same as the Jeep GC,the Durango is body on frame.Even the stock manifolds are a tight fit,and I agree,they don't even look like they flow well.Logs they are! Engine swaps . com has a long tube headers for the Dakota 98 to 04. Might want to look at them. I know your Durango is not the same platform but the hemi is a tight fit in the Dakota. Matt

Yes, I put it in my 68 Cuda to test out the intake manifold in a super mild street carbureted combination. I only have 5 runs on it so far with a best of 13.24@104.0mph. DA of 2214 https://youtu.be/2SO_OxKYj1M
