Just to put it in perspective
Here is a repro set for sale on ebay for $799

[mikep]

Yes. I saw them. And thanks, but that's why I put it on here. Can't afford that.

 

[340challconvert]

I fully understand. That price would be too much for me too.
Good luck with the search!

The last set I had were in really nice condition and I got $450 for them and it took a while. The money they're asking for the repops is ridiculous and that guy at $950 is completely unrealistic. I see these at the Mopar Nationals going for anywhere from $250 to $500 a pair depending on condition, if they're a matched set or date code.

Check these short headers they look like they will fit good the other ones I see have the collectors in the middle so they won't fit and these would perform better then the manifolds if appearance is not critical. Aussie dollar is down so could be a good deal for you guys. I did manage to find a pair of 1970 340 high performance manifolds for $450 off Ebay a couple of months ago, got lucky nobody else bid on them but these short headers were seriously considered.

Thanks aussimark but I'm looking to put the car back to original so looking for OEM. I have a set of aftermarket headers on there now. It is a beautiful and quite rare convertible. Came with a/c, rally dash, power windows and top and Se trim package with 21,000 miles on it. So I'm trying to put as much OEM as possible back on it. But thanks for the help anyway.

Post up some pics of your convertible. Several guys on here have one.

 

[340challconvert]

Absolutely, would really enjoy some pics!
I also have a 340. A66 Challenger convertible.
Yours sounds super nice.
Just started to work on mine after storing it since 1984. Looking forward to seeing yours.

 

[mikep]

Wow. Sounds really familiar. Just getting back to mine after storing since 1988. Still has a 1979 inspection sticker on it.

 

[DetMatt1]

We'd love to see it.

I had the original left side, bought a repop for the right side. Exhaust arrived today, and won't bolt up to passenger side, oil filter is in conflict???

You need to get the 90 degree oil filter adapter. There are several on e-bay and someone here may have one for sale.
