Elite Veteran Posts: 1018 Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | hey guys ! anyone ever seen or heard of these exhaust manifolds for the d500 315 hemi high performance engine? I never did ! these are not the 331 -392 manifolds with the 4 bolt square flange they are supposebally strictly for the d500 baby hemi 315 . I was looking for manifolds a while back for my 241 hemi and never came across these manifolds anywhere on the internet. what do you think ? were these ever made for the 56 d500 315 hemi engine ? not the nascar engine . john

These guys resemble the 354 Dodge Hemi-truck manifolds, but the two manifolds are manifestly different from each other. They can be retrofitted onto the 315/325 Dodge Hemi-car engines, but not on the 315/325 Poly head engines, because the former have round exhaust ports in the head, and the latter have rectangular ports on them. Those are my photo-postings, from photos that were provided by Tim Dupont, Mr. Dash-1. Edited by d500neil 2014-03-03 4:32 PM | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1018 Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | <p>hi neil glad you chimed in .. so these have to be pretty rare manifolds to find neil?</p><p>do these have the round holes for baby hemi verses oblong and square ports for the other hemi and poly engines? </p><p> </p> Edited by dodge59 2014-03-03 4:39 PM | ||

Hard to say which series is more rare; common sense would say that the 354 guys are rarer than the 315's. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1018 Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | <p>sure like to find a pair of those 315 truck manifolds for my 241 hemi. </p><p>does anyone know what years/years dodge truck hemis had the drv side exhaust manifold exit to the rear by the fire wall?</p><p>my 241 hemi has to have a rear dump manifold drvside. just like the one in the previous pics.</p><p>Thanks</p> Edited by dodge59 2014-03-03 7:42 PM | ||

Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | You might be in luck; the 1955-1957 (from the 55-58 Master Parts Book) D500 right side exhaust manifold carries P/N of 1532 891, which would indicate a part origination date for 1955 model year. If your car's right side manifold has this number, then the 315 Hemi truck manifolds will definitely bolt up to it. If your manifold has a 13xxxx (probably, for 1953 application, or, maybe 14xxxxx) P/N, then the head porting's shape/location will probably not configure with the 55-57 manifolds' port's shape or location. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1018 Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | yep neil that is the same number my 54 hemi has for the pass manifold. I thought the 241 270 315 and 325 hemis all have the same cyl bore location. not sure if 315 and 325 have oblong ports though .. larger hemis are all together a different bore configuration. I thought I read somewhere ........that hemi trucks all had center dumps .. that is not what I am looking for though. I need that d500 drv manifold that exits the back. just like the above picture . .......... no room for a center dump on my 241 hemi. steering box is right there. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1018 Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | neil 57 's was still very simialr to the first 1953 baby hemi manifold. after all those years you think mopar could have improved them some way or another. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1018 Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | I found out how many d500-1 manifolds were made ................. 51 pairs . and now not a pair in existence. go figure. | ||

I'd have to get out of my chair and turn around to check this....but, the 315 Hemi Truck manifolds are either the same as the manifolds on the Dash-1's, or, they are very close in appearance to them. The Hemi truck (engines-and-) manifolds are not super rare, but, typically the manifolds are only available with a complete engine, and/or with that engine still being installed in a truck. If you are possibly interested in my spare driver's side 57 D500 manifold, please PM me....and I'll go look to see if I still have it. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1018 Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | <p>I haven't seen anything like these d500-1 manifolds neil..</p><p>look how aggressive they are .. the 331-354 trucks motors and chrys 300 appear similar to the d500-1 pass side but nothing ressembles the drv side d500-1. these d500-1 are all by themselves .</p><p>big dumps on eash side with 4 bolt square flange .</p><p>I think the 51 quantity means chrylser had to produce 50+1 for nascar cars regulations . I think that is what I was told. don't quote me though. it's a reliable source hemi gurru all the way.</p><p> </p><p> </p> Edited by dodge59 2014-03-15 9:41 PM (DashOneExhManifComparo1 (1).jpg) (DashOneExhManifComparo3.jpg) (DashOneExhManifComparo4 (1).jpg) Attachments ---------------- DashOneExhManifComparo1 (1).jpg (56KB - 267 downloads) DashOneExhManifComparo3.jpg (54KB - 184 downloads) DashOneExhManifComparo4 (1).jpg (52KB - 182 downloads) | ||
