Progress

The manifolds on mine are from a 92 Dakota with the 2 1/8" outlets. Yes, the old manifolds will work on the Magnum heads. I had mt 318 LA manifolds bolted up for a while. Look in the exhaust section for threads/posts by Treblig. He has been pairing a passenger side Magnum manifold with 340 HP manifolds.

That's good to know! I planned on keeping the stock Dakota manifolds but then found a set of headers for CHEAP. I finally got my car home and in the shop, going to be bringing the Dakota home tomorrow and starting disassembly! Im super excited to start on this. Ordered a bunch of parts from rock auto yesterday, including floor pans!
