Re: [Chrysler300] 440 TNT Exhaust manifold



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.
