those look to be the summit shorties that didn't work for IMGTX in his E body--IIRC in his car the collector hit the steering shaft. I'm debating if I want to try these edelbrock 66013 headers in my 5th ave  they're slightly longer and might take care of the clearance issue IMGTX had, and they're coated stainless...the downside is they're $460, or $30 more than bare dougs headers (but $130 cheaper than the coated dougs D453's)

im in the process of the swap right now. I used just regular old a body headers in my dart. They seem to work well, but I have not fired it up yet. I do have to reroute the power steering hose. I have manual brakes so no booster to worry about.

well I took some very rudimentary measurements and looking at the car, I think I might be able to make the truck manifolds work (remember I have manual steering and brakes so Im at an advantage for space) Anyone ever have issues with motor mount shims? I may be able to pull this off with only having to buy the Schumacher mounts

I have the bolt & washer part of the HUG 7011 kit if anyone wants it for $19 shipped, decided to go electric.

When I shoved a 360 in my GTX for a bit I had no problems.
I wonder where the hell that engine is now? The mind goes...

Gary,
Don't know about the Jeep ones....what would fit is a 68-70 340 style driver's side manifold, the one going upward.....you know ?
Daniel
Yes that would be best but in researching the issue there is two problems.
1) People report a port mismatch at the bottom causing an exhaust leak (either right away or when the gasket burns through due to so little meat being there)
2) Cost of the early "header" manifold.
The older manifolds are nice looking but the cost to power ratio is not there for me and dyno reports back that up.
If I can fit the 92 magnum manfolds in they go toe to toe with the 68-70 340 in regards to flow and there are no sealing issues. If I have to go with the jeep manifolds (which arrived yesterday, I'll take pics today) then at best I'll lose a few hp and live with that.
I'm too old to be changing gaskets every year, I want to assemble the car and go and make it as idiot proof (trouble free) as possible.
Great dyno shoot out on manifolds here-

I intend to compile a lot of information on my website so in the future there is a guide for these conversions.
jeep manifolds have been discussed before and are a no-go. the jeeps move the starter to the pass side of the engine, so the drivers side jeep manifold dumps right on top of the starter in a normal LA configuration.

With both style starters?
