Will these work on a 72 swinger with power steering magnum 5.2 and 518 transmission?

I’m not sure about the 518 but they work with a 904. I will say those headers are a huge pain in the *** to install and they hang pretty low to the ground. I have them in my purple car, they work but I got them for free. If I was buying I’d buy TTI headers and be 100% more happy with them. I do understand there is a cost difference between them though.

Can't vouch for the 518, but header fitment shouldn't be any different than with a 727.

Thanks for the replies! I am probably going to try them.

Look up a 70 Dart Swinger 340 with a 727 to check fitment. A 518 is just a 727 with an OD unit hanging off the back of it. Any exhaust shop worth their salt should be able to easily plumb the exhaust past the 518. With the way you'll have to hack up the torsion bar crossmember to get the 518 to fit properly, just be sure to leave room under the bottom side for exhaust pipes to pass thru and not hang down too much.

i hate any header where 3 goes over 5 and 7 . Maybe it's a PS thing .

Back in the mid 70's, I had a 73 Challenger 340. I put Appliance headers on it, and the #1 tube crossed over the top of 3, 5 and 7. It was a slip tube and surprisingly had good enough clearance to where it didn't bake the plug wires. No such luck with Cyclone, Hedman and Hookers though!
