They certainly did, but not for very long. I can't enumerate the years, but where do you guys thing those HUGE "long ram" manifolds originated?

While the all-out 413's were pretty torquey, those manifolds were not known for "top end"

However, they were pretty much the ancestor of the famous 426 max wedge:
