Default 1998 Ram 1500 Van exhaust manifold

Howdy everyone. Just purchased another Mopar, this time being a van (first van ever!!!) and was curious about swapping the exhaust manifolds to the 91-92 style. Has anyone done it successfully without any issues like down pipe fitment???

Well, I swapped a set from a 92' Dakota onto my 95' engine, and the flanges DID NOT work, even though I had read from a MOPAR site that they would. I may just go get a set and fuddle with it. Supposedly, they are good for 10 ft/lbs.

Haha, try to find those manifold to pipe flanges from any auto parts store or even NAPA. Those do not exist. My exhaust shop had to find a 2000 Dakota 5.2L in a salvage yard as a donor or the last step was to machine out a pair.
