Re: [Chrysler300] 440 TNT Exhaust manifold

["Roger Schaaf" <obiwan10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

These were the same manifolds as used on the optional 355 hp(first hp per ci 
in an American car in spite of Chevrolet's 1957 claim of that feat) 300 B 
engine.  I have a set for my car(thanks to Henry Nigg, who now tells me that 
he wants to buy them back), but one of them has a crack and I need to find 
someone to weld it properly.  John Lazenby has a set on his 300 B. His B 
sounds great.  They are the same as the Dodge truck.  You can recognize them 
by the fact that they have 4 bolts to attach them to the exhaust head pipe. 
Also this pipe is of larger diameter then the 340 hp standard 300 B engine 
head pipe.
