Tech Question

Donald Hineman, Camp Caldwell, IRAQ, 1973 Plymouth Satellite 318

Stationed In Iraq with U.S. Army. Want to replace existing older exhaust manifolds with new ones. Will the current generation of Mopar/Chrysler 5.2 - 5.9 exhaust manifolds fit my 1973 era engine? I want to keep a fairly stock, but newer appearance in my car.
My Thanks: SSG Hineman with the 101st Airborne Division in Iraq.

Sarge-

The manifolds will fit the engine fine, and be a significant performance increase, too. The only fly in the ointment is the steering column - both it, and the Magnum manifold, want to occupy the same space. So the best available combination of factory manifolds would be a Magnum on the right side, and a stock '68-70 340 on the left. With a custom exhaust (2.5", or whatever similar metric size they have in Iraq) would be the way to go.
