For exhaust I am using P/N 3614368 (left) and 2863549 (right) manifolds off a '69-'70 Dart with a 340 because I think they are the only manifolds that will fit, and it was easier and cheaper than trying to use headers. But beware, use these manifolds at your own risk because I have excessive detonation with this fairly high-compression (10.5:1) 360, and I am still in the process of tracking down its cause. Of course it could be caused by too much ignition advance, running too lean, an exhaust restriction or inadequate quench, and I am trying to eliminate each of the first three causes before removing the heads for examination. So I'm still wondering if these manifolds may be too restrictive for my engine. I think there may be a substantial and unnecessary restriction where the manifold meets the head pipe, but I'm not sure yet.
