Change Manifolds

Dylan - recommendation is to change

If you look on craigslist you can find a lot of SB mopar manifolds for cheap. I really like SB 340 manifolds, they are well rounded. The provided the performance, have a choke riser and are not too much yet not too little. Seems they run about $100

You should be able to find a decent carb as well. Both Holley and Carter provide a Mopar bracket extension for the kick down and the throttle bracket (http://www.summitracing.com/search/?...y%2020-7&dds=1)

Hope this helps

So what manifolds are interchangeable with this .318 Motor? .340, .360 .383, .400, .440?

Man out in Arizona, nobody has Mopar parts on craigslist, at least in the phoenix area, lol all Chevy's

R -

Technically, no, you could get an 2 barrel to 4 barrel adapter plate, but you will be much better off with a new manifold.

Also. if you do go to a 4 barrel, be careful with the size (flow rate/cfm), meaning keep it fairly small, like around 600 cfm, unless you plan on doing other things to the motor.

Welcome aboard,

Archer

Dtwich90,I have a '73 340 manifold available.

Roneisele, also have a TQ that has been on the shelf for about 15 years, probably needs a rebuild,I will look for numbers if there is any interest in it. PM me for details.
