YES 5.9 Magnum manifolds work in early A bodies. Here is exactly how!

When you say large hole vs small hole, you referring to the port size? What’s best for fairly stock 318 or does it matter?
The large hole manifolds that I am talking about are the 96/97/98 Jeep Grand Cherokee (JGC) manifolds. The have a 2 1/8" exit hole, compared to the small hole magnum manifold that has a 1 5/8 or 1 7/8 exit hole. To compare, the 340 manifolds are 2 3/16", which is 1/16" larger than the JGC manifold. There are some 92/93 manifolds that are also large hole but they are designed differently. Unfortunately the JGC driver's manifold will not work on an A body BUT....the passenger's side fits like a glove and can be machined out (ported) to the same size as the 340 manifold. If you can find a driver's 340 manifold you can easily find a JGC manifold for 30/40 bucks!!!
