Default 340 exhaust

The best manifolds are casting 2863549 and 2863553. These came on 68-70 340's. In 71 the passenger side changed to a poorer manifold. I would not run anything but the manifold's above. I have been running them on my 340 for years now.
The good manifolds passenger side is designed "header like". If both your side are the "log" design you have some variant of the poorer manifolds.

I think the ones I have are 340/maybe 360 hp they look just like the 340 manifolds on my friends 69 duster which is stock but mine don't have any part/casting numbers. Aarracer said they are 1973 so I will order the exhaust that way. I'm going to Carlisle pa .next Saturday for the mopar show I'll get to see many stock 340 there

Yes sounds like you have the low flow manifolds. You will see what I mean when you see the "good" 2 1/4 inch outlet manifolds. Cars 1968-70 had them. I googled them and saw a pair for $200.00.
If they cost twice that, I would still use them. They flat out perform..and sound awesome...I know, I switched to them from headers 15 years ago. They also look great..I use plasticote high temp black paint.

Not trying to be pushy..but I've tried lots of headers etc...Hi Flows are GREAT.

If you get then extrude honed, they will work even better, then get them ceramic coated.

Tested on a dyno in a mild 410 cu in six pack, 340 manifolds with 2.5" exhaust made 5% less peak power and 10% less low end torq than cheapo 1 5/8" primary headers with the same exhaust and mufflers. I don't think they perform that well, none of the manifolds do (similar results with BB magnum manifolds compared to 1 3/4" primary Hookers.

I'd like to see a test like that on a 340/360 cubic inch engine. No doubt the 340 manifolds were inadequate on a 410 cu. in. motor. They were never designed fot that kind of flow.
