The X pipe crosses over. Is that what you mean?

I recently replaced my two piece headers with a stock manifold on the driver's side and a 90's magnum manifold on the passengers side. The headers rattled and leaked constantly and were a little too loud for my tastes. The unintended consequence was that I picked up a very pronounced drone when...

10/4. I'll order the kit for the magnum and get 1 1/2" studs for the driver's side. Appreciate the advice!

So I settled on the 64-66 manifold plus 3/8” header flange for the drivers side and the 97 magnum manifold for the passenger side. What is the best way to source manifold studs? I have quite a few different lengths that I need now. Can I just get some 5/16 x 18 coarse threaded rod and cut...

thanks for the suggestion. If the whole exhaust system was shot, I'd consider this route but the rest of the dual exhaust is in great shape. I actually just replaced the mufflers with dynomax super turbos to try and quiet it down (didn't make much difference at all). So I'll be sticking with...

So this manifold will work with the header flange? Certainly looks shaped the right way.

Evening everybody. I have a 65 Valiant with a 318 (302 heads) and stock power steering. I removed my Doug’s headers as the constant leaks and rattles and decibel level were starting to wear on me and decided to switch over to manifolds. I picked up a pair of 5.9L Magnum manifolds from a 1997...

I also have 14" Cragar SS wheels that I'd like to retain. Did you use their power booster too? Worried about that clearing my headers but I definitely need to get rid of my single reservoir master cylinder. I suppose I could just use the brake kit and install my own dual reservoir master...

Since everyone has been so helpful, I thought I'd post a few more pics. I am definitely not thrilled with the location of the fuel pump (front passenger frame rail under the horn). Going to relocate to the rear of the car and try to use as much steel line as possible to replace all that rubber...

I have been called a weiner in the past but I prefer to remain uncooked. I'll definitely look into the inertia switch.

The seller is into B body mopars. He brings mopars back east from the west. This valiant was from California and he drive it for about 2 years. According to him, he installed the fuel pump to correct a stalling issue. I'll definitely look into the inertia switch. He wasn't sure what had...

I will absolutely be installing a dual master cylinder at a minimum. Thanks for all of the suggestions to protect the lines from the exhaust heat. Thanks for sharing your pic!

Thanks! We are pretty smitten....

The hose on the passenger side is the fuel line to the electronic pump mounted to the frame rail out of view. The red wire is the feed to that pump. Certainly an opportunity to clean up the wiring. I appreciate all of your insight and time. This is so helpful for someone with limited...

Hey there. I bought a 1965 Valiant a month ago. Seller said it had a 273. Finally had a chance to truly get underneath it and look at the engine block casting....4387530-31823.....a 318! Look at the passenger side....08-87...from 1987! This is my first mopar and I am getting into cars a...
