« on: August 29, 2014 - 01:08:31 PM »
Looking for 1970 440 Six Pack Dodge Challenger correct casting numbers for original exhaust manifolds.  Are these the correct numbers? Left: 2951865 and Right:2899879.

In the restoration guide those are the right numbers for the 440 but they don't list anything separate for 440-6 so I would assume they were the same. Not that that book is 100% correct???

I found a pair of exhaust manifolds online but the left cast number is 2951865-2

What does the –2 mean?

Would this still be considered numbers correct for a 1970 Dodge Challenger 440-6?

Likely it means it's the 2nd cast revision.

The casting cases halves eventually wear out. Then they make new one's and that is why it has a  -2.
