Cast Iron Exhaust Headers--which ones?
« on: October 10, 2010 - 09:01:52 PM »
I'm assemblying the engine for my 70 Challenger RT as a 440 Magnum engine.  It isn't but I want it to look like one.  What do the exhaust headers, both left and right supposed to look like.  Anyone have pictues?  PK

PK   Go to ebay and type in "mopar 440 exhaust manifold".   Several examples on there right now.  Look for the ones with "sweeping" tubes for each port, not the ones that have the sharp right angle bends.
A good example of what you want:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MOPAR-EXHAUST-MANIFOLDS-68-69-440-HP-/320616634830?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4aa63d99ce
These are the correct HP part, and will look good on your engine build.

Thanks for the parts numbers.  I'm new to this era of Mopar although I've owned  my 70 Challenger RT for 20 years.  It is a big block car that came to me with a 340.  The 440 I acquired to install in it had no manifolds.  Over the years I just paid no attention to things like manifolds and how they look.  I was surprised to learn that the left and right side look so different.  I expected they would be esentially the same in apperance.  I've learned a lot in this project.  Thanks for the info!  PK
