Curt Lee Posted August 9, 2023 Report Posted August 9, 2023 Are they all from Dodge trucks? And they fit the 218/230 engines using passenger car exhaust manifolds? Curiosity killing me Quote
47 dodge 1.5 ton Posted August 9, 2023 Report Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) Don’t think they were really available on 23” motors unless marine applications. They were available in the early 50’s for the 25”,265 dodge 2 1/2 ton trucks and dealer aftermarket. They do not interchange. Edited August 9, 2023 by 47 dodge 1.5 ton Quote
Curt Lee Posted August 9, 2023 Author Report Posted August 9, 2023 Awesome; looks cool as the other side of the pillow. Disappointed that it's not a 216 applicable item, but there are plenty (relatively) of aftermarket kits. Quote
The Oil Soup Posted August 13, 2023 Report Posted August 13, 2023 I have a 23” 230 with a stock manifold modified by George Asche to mount dual Carter B&Bs. Quote

The Oil Soup Posted August 14, 2023 Report Posted August 14, 2023 I had pulled the original 218 from my truck and rebuilt a 230 for it, had George Asche split the exhaust manifold and modify the stock intake manifold for dual carbs, I also followed John-T-53s T5 project and installed a T5 behind the flathead 6 with a Jeep Cherokee 3.55 rear, so to answer your question the motor is really peppy now and the trans makes a huge difference in city traffic and on the freeway! 2 1 Quote
