    Not sure on your car, but "Truck" and "Car" manifolds tend to dump in different places. Bout the best thing i can tell you is try fitting them and see if the down pipe once installed, will have any issues.

    The 340 OEM reproduction one's are for sale on E Bay and shakerhood.com. They have 2 1/4" outlets and flow much better. Did you ever consider those? They're more $ but they'll let your engine breathe a little better.

    I bet the truck manifolds will not fit , the later Magnum manifolds fit well though

    I bet you could get a set of Magnum manifolds off a truck at the wreckers for $20 or so

    Just curious, what manifolds are on your car now?  Are they 318 or 340 or 360 manifolds?  You said these 318 manifolds would be an upgrade?  Bigger?  Just a wee bit confused....thanks!
