Don't get this doom and gloom, if he can't go headers ain't the end of the world just has a little less power. And always can do a swap down road, sometimes and probably a lot of times people have to run a compromised combos. The only option ain't all or nothing.

True, but the alternative is random voices on the internet and or your local Uncle Tony for most.

Well you got to take the results with a gain of salt, but if you keep on see X head and Y head make a certain amount of hp with similar general parts, think it’s safe to say if you build similar your gonna get similar results.

Most don't have dyno's got to take what you can get.

If it's not in the budget run the manifolds, can always do the swap down the road.

I wouldn't worry about it, his job seems to be finding threads to trash on 318's and UTG if he can squeeze it in :)

Don't some mill some off the manifold flange to gain room ? Angle mill it ? Not sure kind of remember people doing/saying that. I wouldn't do any engine or suspension moving to make it fit, what are we talking power wise an hp or two, I know all the little gains add up, but I wouldn't do...

What's wrong with what you got?

There was a manifold shootout a long time ago in one of the mopar magazine I think, they found one of the magnums and one of the 340's gave the best result, can't remember which side was which, but there wasn't a huge difference between the 340 & Magnums and even the 360 ones too. Here's...

Probably why it's still the most popular engine to run

True but the issue is everyone thinks the sbm weight is fine but bbm is not, but reality is by time it's swapped in it's generally fairly close to sbm weight unless you keep it 100% stock.

For most It would be transmission and the electronics.

The 3.6l is an impressive little engine too bad it wasn't easier to swap since there's ton of them out there cheap.

I think an AWD 3.6l A Body swap would be kind of kewl.

I'd say 383 has more potential mainly due to bore size, but for an average build it's a coin toss, Depends what platform you want to invest in.
