I can't afford an LD340 now, the prices have gone up a lot in the last few months. It wouldn't work on the 273. The ports are even bigger than the LD4B and those ports are bigger than the ports on my 920 heads.

Rag71, thanks for the tip. Arkansas might be close enough to go pick it up. Most of the others I've seen were too far away.

Dwight, please explain to me just how a combo can be raced for YEARS without an approved intake manifold number in the guide? And what about the 65 cars?

They finally put the 252 manifold in the books after tearing me down for the 10-15th time with my 65 car. There were no intake numbers before that. I don't see why the manifolds are not approved from 64-68 they are all the same with different casting numbers. The early manifolds have the 5/16 bolt holes, though.

Billy, move over, you have company in the one year only intake manifold combo. Everything I found online said the 2536560 p/n was the part number, not the casting number. Well, at least I have the casting to look for. I haven't seen one yet.

I got the CD of the 1966 Chrysler parts book. Yep, just as I thought, the 2536560 is the part number, not the casting number. I think that means I will never find one. Billy you are one up on me if I want to run the 2bbl engine? Maybe I can get NHRA to approve the 340 sixpack manifold with the end carb spots blocked off? Billy would love that! LOL!

See if you can get a hold of Galen Govier to see if he can clear up this mess between casting numbers and part numbers
