I pulled a 360 out of a 71 Fury and was wondering if the factory manifolds are any good? I'm looking to build a mild 360 for the dart(350 hp). I was also considering headers, but I'm kind of going for that stock look. thanks

The factory A body left manifolds had an upward design to allow clearance for the steering chuck. Standard log type manifolds were too close to fit, at least in factory installations. I have been able to fit 318/360 type log manifolds in a few A body cars by grinding the ribbed areas. I have to grind on the power steering chuch as well. Manual steering would clear though. A factory type manifold is the safest way to go in regards to fit, function and originality.
