[WANTED] looking for a certain 440 exhaust manifold

[trudysduster]

I am in the process of taking my 440 out of my Duster and going to rebuild it and I am looking for the DS exhaust manifold that has a curve at the bottom where the flange is that curves around the steering shaft.I have no idea what the number is or what it came off of but if you know what I am talking about, you know what it is. I had one stored in the garage for the last 20 years but it isnt there now as luck would have it. let me know if you know anything about one or have one. Shipping will be to zip 41010. Thanks,Bill

This one

[FOR SALE] - 67-68 big block A- body exhaust manifolds nice condition

 

[hemi71x]

migsBIG has got some too.
[FOR SALE] - 1967-1969 big block a-body manifolds.

Those are likely 383 manifolds and might not fit a 440 properly (taller deck, wider engine). The proper 440 A-body manifolds run about $3000-5000 a set, if you can find them.

I'd look REALLY hard for the one you had!

 

[RustyRatRod]

The C body HP manifold is another option that will likely fit as well.

Does anyone know the casting number, or is there more than one of those for the C body applications? TIA, Lefty

Just different details for different years. I prefer the earlier ones as they are plainer looking. The later ones had a stupid lookin heat sink on them.

I believe I have a 440 C body HP manifold somewhere
in the shop. Nice condition = $200 plus shipping.

let me know if you find it. I can live with that price. Bill

does anybody know the part number on the 440 c body manifolds that may fit?

Do your research first b4 buying any manifolds. It also depends on your skill level and problem solving. Kim

Kim,

doesn't the steering column housing have to be shortened a pinch for an A body application?

My M-code GTS had 383 manifolds on it when I bought it, they fit but are pretty close to the steering column.

I have had this engine in here for over 20 years now but since the engine is coming out I thought I would switch the DS out. Now is the time.

Like this, not sure which one fits a A body

Kim,

Possibly with a RB I can’t remember. B blocks fit w/o shortening the column.

 

[413]

Side view. It goes straight down, where the real abody pieces has an indent for the column to pass

 

[trudysduster]

how much are you asking for that one.

For the B body manifold, yes. The C body manifold, no. The outlet is further forward on the C body manifold and doesn't interfere with the column. On SOME cars though, the cylinder head face of the manifold needs to be milled so that the manifold is closer to the engine. Something that only mockup will discover. Some drop right in. Don't forget that the steering column can be moved some by loosening the bolts on the retaining plate at the firewall. I've gotten about 3/4" to the driver's side of the car before. When you're talking about manifold clearance, that's a mile.

I think I have this C- Body driver side manifold. Would have to check if op is interested.

 

[dowboy1970]

Here ya go.

 

[oldkimmer]

Drivers is B body Kim

 

[dowboy1970]

I see it now, B and E body.

 

[RustyRatRod]

Here ya go.

B Body.

Correct. The C body DS manifold has the outlet a good bit further forward.
