340 Exhaust Manifolds on Early A-Body??

[phish1270]

I just picked up a set of the Dakota manifolds at Pull-A-Part. I have searched a few of these threads discussing these manifolds but I don't see that anyone has answered the question: Will these fit on an early A-body ('65 Barracuda) with power steering? If they will not is anyone interested in a set? Thanks for any help guys.

Yea if they don't fit I would like a shot at them. Just PM if you want to sell.

You are first in line Hyper. Shoot me a PM if you get a chance so I remember.

Oops, posted in wrong thread, sorry!

Would there be any problems mounting a set of -92 Dakota manifolds on a '66 Dart with 318/904 column shift?

which side of the column is the linkage connection ??? side of the motor ?? or side of the inner fender welll???

 

[NorthernSwede]

Well it's on the drivers side of the engine, that I know for sure buy on which side of the column it passes I do not know but I do guess it's the same on all 4 door '66 Darts with a column 904 and 318? Though if I have to take a guess I'd say abou 72% sure it's on the engine side of the column..

the dakota durango manifolds inter fear with the stock clutch linkage

Looks like I have the answer to one more question. Thanks about thinking about the centerlink. I found one a couple of years back.
Again, thanks to all!!

I'm curious, I have a set of the magnum manifolds from a 96 Ram with a 5.2, are these the larger ones or the smaller ones? Where do I measure? Thanks.

Measure the outlet flange where the exhaust pipe attaches.
I put a RH side manifold on a 72 Duster 360. Perfect fit and plenty of clear access to the oil filter. The RH manifold eliminates 2 bends in the exhaust pipe, which certainly helps flow. I couldn't get the LH manifold to fit with power steering, and I'm not going to manual.
To me it looks as if the LH "magnum" series manifold MIGHT fit a floor shifted automatic car with manual steering.

It will. Mine was a column shifted 3 speed, until I converted it to a 3 spd floor auto. The linkage is a little close to the manifold but nothing rubs so it's all good. It's much easier to get in once you know what you are doing the second time.
