    426 Hemi Exhaust Manifold date codes?

     



    Do the 66-71 426 Hemi exhaust manifolds have date codes? I found these numbers and assumed they were the date codes. These are the only other numbers I could find besides the casting numbers. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks, Don

    I found these in a junk yard in a dump truck bed. I got them with a bunch of other stuff.

    I was advised that they should sell for $1500-$2000. Anyone restoring a numbers correct Hemi A body or E body will need them. $2000 for a part on a $100K+ car is just a drop in the bucket. Repros sell for $1000.

    Wow! Is that cool or what? That's a good eye, for sure, from a dump truck bed to a $2K EvilBay sale! Nice!

    Well congratulations for knowing the value of something like that when you see it. I bet plenty of people looked at it and saw junk.
