Earlier A bodies are a totally different animal as far as header clearance than the 67-76 cars.
stock manifolds, my choice. Are you going to drag race your car, and need the absolute last 12 horsepower, at 4,000 + rpm??
At 1,000 to 3,500 rpm, where 90% of the street driving is done how much torque and hp do headers add?Yea tehy look neat, but to me that is not worth the hassle of using them on most Mopars.{Yes I have owned Mopars with headers}

Also,if your running a 360 the 273 manifolds kinda restrict flow.Might aswell put in a 318?I,m going with the Spitfires.Cheaper and workable.stock manifolds, my choice. Are you going to drag race your car, and need the absolute last 12 horsepower, at 4,000 + rpm??

No, but...the 65 Barracuda I just bought had a 318 in it before with stock manifolds from a 75 Dart. I know because I gave them to him. They are under my workbench again :angry7:. Let me know if you want the numbers off of them.has any one tried the dakota /ram magnum exhaust manifolds on an early A yet???
Guess your motor doesn't have 415 horsepower either. :bootysha: It's worth the headache when I want to romp on the gas and not be bogged down by cast iron constipated 273 manifolds. It's all a matter of preference when you have more than a mildly built motor. :-D
415 hp, 8)
No, I only have a mild 318, I didn't want to take a chance
of breaking the stock push button 904, or the stock sure grip 7.25" rear.
Yep, headers are worth the hard work if you make a lot of power,
especially if your going to drag race;
but for a mild engine, maybe not.
I've never had the headache of headers. But, I know what the advantages are. And I'm going to be using them this time on my car.
Thanks. I just need to get online and order up some of those spitfires. For the early A. Anyone have the exact info I need to order those tonight?? Thanks.
