Hello everyone! Joined this site to learn a litte about the 273 V8, I happen to be dropping one in my 1950 Plymouth Suburban wagon.

With that, here is my question...

I picked up a 273 drivers side manifold, to clear the stock steering in the 50, the part number is 2465847.

I would really like to find a matching passenger side, but I need help identifying one with the correct part number. As anal as it sounds, I would like to find the correct manifold that technically matches the drivers side.

So, can someone here help me ID the manifold so I can start my search?

Thank you in advance for your help, this site sure has a lot of nice A-bodies and technical info.
 
Welcome to the site.

I have a listing on pdf. that i cant seem to transfer here....i will keep trying though.

It shows your left casting 2465847 as a 64-66 A body. The part number is listed as 2465848

It shows the right 64-68 A body as casting 2465769 and part number 2465766

Hope some others can confirm and again, welcome to FABO.

Here's the link.........

The 2465847 LH manifold is for 1964 to 1966 273 A bodies.

The casting number for the RH exhaust manifold is 2465769.
This manifold is for 1964 t0 1968 A and B body 273 and 318LA vehicles.

Can't help on casting number, but if you are using the original frame and steering from the '50, get yourself a mini starter or a starter off of a Dakota. When I had the 318 in my 51 Plymouth, I started out with a stock starter and the end just touched the steering box, and had to slide the tranny back to change starters, I switched to a Mopar performance mini starter and it gave me a lot more room.

Great tip, thank you! I am keeping the stock frame and steering...may swap a r&p in at some point, but not right now.
