I will be installing a 360 Magnum Engine into to my 65 Dodge Dart anyone known which exhaust manifolds will work with this ?
 

From the looks of it a magnum right manifold will fit.
I am in the middle of this myself, gonna try a 340 manifold on the left side.
 
I run 340 manifolds on my'64 Dart. It has a 360/A833 setup. The 340 manifolds fit, but it absolutely sucks on the driver's side! To get the pipe to clear the torsion bars and clutch linkage was a nightmare!
 
Right side manifold with the long downpipe fits for sure. I just did it to a 64 dart.
 
My plan is to drop the motor/trans out the bottom. then I can wrestle the manifold and the steering box without the rest of the car in the way.
 
Magnums work on both sides. Passenger side will need milling down 3/16 to 1/4 to be safe.

It looked to me like the drive side would dump right on top of the Z bar in a manual.
 
There is absolutely no trouble putting it on after the motor is in.
There is more to it.
Magnum vs 340 has a port mismatch I need to make adapters for .
And everything I have read says the 340 manifold fits with manual steering and I have power.
So who knows what I have to make or modify for that.
Seems easier to do on the floor to me..
