| the dakota /ram truck manifolds are all the same,,except for 1 or 2 years the dakota R/T had bigger exit ports,,but either way they will out flow the factory 1965 66 v 8 manifolds,, you need to go over to forAbodiesonly web site and do a search, on this topic,,they dont fill the early A bodies,, i would think the hooker 5208 headers would be the cheapest headers,, |

Usually the steering "rag joint" will need to be replaced and non-power steering only will work as far as I know. Then you need to find a good pipe bender to do the exhaust ( an H pipe is good too!) and coated headers (jet hot preferred) seem to look and hold up the best.
I don't know what cheap means to you; but in an early A application - good luck.
Just 2 cents worth.

| check ebay,craigs list and all the mopar forums classified sections for a set of spitfire headers.. they work very well and can usually be found on the cheaper side. last set i had i found at e-town for $90 and they were brand new. |
