65 Dart magnum 5.2, 4spd , 72 dart ex. Manifolds.
Trying to find dual down pipes to begin fab.
Had flex pipes previous to get car drivable.
Now retro fitting 64 powersteering box/pump.locating pump under battery tray.
Anyone know somewhere to get something for starting point without spending $600
On something gonna have to cut....?
Preferably 2" to start.

Also need a 94" 7 rib belt that is unheard of
To make work. Could re rout belt but defeating tensioner.....

Or do I get different PS pump and start over..lol

Thanks. In advance
Dave

That's a cool build. It's to bad the power steering boxes are so big, that's what takes up all the room when it comes to exhaust.
Are you running a magnum alternator bracket now? Why can't you run an original alt/ac bracket and put an idler in the ac spot and use a shorter belt? Or could you move your existing idler closer the water pump to make the belt shorter.
 
I don't think those '72 Dart manifolds will clear the new PS box- they clear on later As but not on the early ones, the outlet hits on the corner of the power box. They clear with a manual box though, as you know.
The Magnum PS pump and bracket from a van will clear the battery tray, it mounts lower than the Ram bracket.

Yep gonna move idle pully or find bigger diameter.
