    Car 340 intake manifold for my boat?

    Sorry if this had been asked before. I came across a clean intake manifold for a 340, looks the same as the one in my boat, came from a 68'. I have a 74 340. Would these manifolds swap? They appear to be the same.

    Replace intake manifold?

    Hello, I have a good running 340 in my old 74' century resorter.

    74 Chrysler 340 Intake Manifold replacement question.

    I have a 340 in my old boat. When I removed the thermostat this year I noticed the manifold looked very pitted and rusty inside. I think I should replace it before I run into issues. Any tips from those who have done it before? Can I just use an Edelbrock intake manifold or does it have to be...
