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.
 
There is absolutely no trouble putting it on after the motor is in.
 
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 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..
