Let's start 'em even earlier!

Condolences, Mike.

You weren't clear, did you want to stay with the small 5x4 bolt circle, or switch to the larger 5x4.5? If you're going to the 5x4.5, there are LOTS of options. -Explorer 8.8, with limited slip and discs. 8.8 swap -Pre '70 B body 8.75, no narrowing required, just use wheels with more backspace-...

Oh! I misunderstood what you want to do- you want to temporarily hook the system up to the manifolds for a test stand? In that case, you could use the type of ball flange that you referenced above, and just put an elbow on it to connect to the pipe/mufflers. But to use a ball flange on a...

A Hemi Dart AND a good breakfast on the same day?? What a morning- it don't get any better than that!

Just an interesting FYI: Electric Choke Conversion Kit - TQ

Additional note: When searching the tire size, include results for '67+ Dart (not Dart Sport). Same rear wheel wells and fender openings as a Scamp. You should be able to go 225 70 in the rear (235 may physically fit, but you're going to run into issues with speedometer calibrations); but I...

I'm gonna be different and say have it powdercoated.

That's a two-bolt ball flange, the exhaust kit uses three-bolt flanges- no go. You could try a collector adapter like these: ReducerAdapters (I just used TTi's site for reference, I'm sure they're available elsewhere, too) Honestly, I'd just leave the flanges off the exhaust system and see if...

TTi makes headpipes for the 340 manifolds, but they don't have collector flanges on them. You could add the flanges to the headpipes or leave them off the exhaust system and just hook them up with slipjoints. They're kinda pricey for what they are, though. I would think a local exhaust shop...

In '78-'79 or so Mopar smallblocks went to a smaller, offset thermostat. Magnum and Chebby size (maybe slant 6 size too? Dunno.). Most aftermarket manifolds are sized for the earlier thermostats and housings.

My '68 Darts seem to be natural also, my '66 is galvanized.

The numbers on the side of the block won't be stamped- they'll be cast onto the block.
