Well the right side is the same as any '67-'69 383 A-body 2863900. The left side for 440 is 3462017. The M-codes used a spacer on the right side between the exhaust manifold and the head pipe which brought both sides down to where the 383 exhaust would be in height. Therefore the standard 383 head pipes were used on the 440 M-codes.
I have some spacers made, but hopefully will be having more made.
I'm the CARETAKER of Weinstats '69 440 'cuda registry and have 104 of the 360 cars to date. 84 fastbacks/20 coupes. Always looking for new(REAL M-code) '69 440 'cudas to add to the registry so drop me a note if any are found or known. This isn't a publicly released registry. Thanks, Dave

We have the spacer kits in stock if anybody is in need of one. http://www.accurateltd.com/A-Body-Spacer-Plate-Kit_p_341.htmlP.S. A spacer kit can also be used on the left side for a 440 application if a 383 (002 ,729 casting) manifold is used. This might flip somebody out that is "anal" but guess what? We sell a lot of these kits for that reason and we are in business to supply what people want. And if you don't like the included bolts-use something else. Side note: 67-68 big block a-body cars used a two piece head pipe that was welded together. These were 2.25" halfway back then 2" to the mufflers. One piece head pipes are available with the ugly dents for 1969 as an option but you will need to specify this when ordering. Moparts members members receive a 10% discount on all products.

Count me in on a spacer!  I have NOS 383 pipes, so all I need now is a 017... 
Jim,
If your any where near my house when going back home to Rockford let me know and I'll show you the M code 69 coupe and the 2 67 formula S fastbacks I have a 383 4 spd and the other is 273 spd missing the engine.

Big Block Dave, can you post some more photos of some of the 69 440 M-code Cuda's that you have from your files or from the registry if possible.
especially some more pics of that green fast back!
I don't have a lot of pictures of M-cudas. There were none with the registry when i took over. I have some from like '04 when m-cars were in building Y @ Carlisle(likely film pics). And some from MY/Carlisle's reunion in '09. I see the T5 car above, that was at Carlisle in '09, it has a 6-pak with triangular air cleaner....he got 1 of the trophies in our class, peoples choice, i think they liked the 6-pak, very nice car.
2nd quote...what green fastback are you talking about?
Below is 1 of only 5 white fastbacks in the registry. 1 of 4 with black interior, the other 1 has green interior.
