They came with my 340 project. No numbers anywhere. Pics of anyone seen this.

If you clean it up, you may see shallow imprints of numbers on the inside face.

They can be very hard to read though.
 
I saw one post in the ads where it was mentioned that the ones without casting numbers were for T/A and AAR. That's just not true. There were no special bins for exhaust manifolds at the factory for a 6 pack engine. They all came out of the same lots. The reason the numbers are not clean and clear are from mold wear. Nothing more.

T/A and AAR had the same exact exhaust manifolds as the 340 Swingers and Duster for 1970. #'s 2863549, 2863553

Someone came up with a story at one time to JACK a buyer for more cash. That's my opinion.

You have 68-70 A and E body 340 exhaust manifolds. They are desirable pieces.

There are aftermarket manifolds out there now but those look too old to be repops.

I know a guy who used to make guitars look very vintage even used to be able to get the old original fender decals from the custom shop down here which is now defunct. He said the bodies up on the roof during the summer days. Buy some new ones, grease the flange and then throw out in your yard...and turn the sprinklers on, bury them, for 2 weeks.... vintage...lmao
