Are the intake and exhaust manifolds the same on narrow block 262, wide block, 262, and Hornet 308 ?

Ray, I'm not positive but I think the runners may be smaller on the 262, and I know they use carbs with a slightly narrower base. Carbs from a Twin H 262 won't fit a 308 manifold.

This may be best answered by someone with a master parts book in front of them. I know the single-2bbl intakes will bolt up and work well on either a 262 or 308. The gasket pattern, exhaust manifold pad and external dimensions are all identical. Casting numbers and dates can be found on the bottom of the intake manifold.

They are all the same. The only modifications are for the twin H setup which you can actually use the single carb exhaust manifold but you have to change the connection bolts for the intake into exhaust manifolds and also modify the heat tube from single to twin. The only change was the exhaust manifold on the 1955. That part will interchange from 55-56 as the engine had to fit into essentially a narrow engine well Nash body and had to be modified at the exhaust elbow flange.

Thanks everyone. This is for 2 barrel only.
