In 1967, Pontiac came out with the first "D-port" "Ram Air" manifolds for the GTO.

So you have 1967 "Ram Air D-port Manifolds"
You have the Round Port 1st gen heads which had the so called RAM AIR II exhaust manifolds.
You had the Ram Air IV exhaust manifolds, The RA-V exhaust manifolds, and the 455 SD manifolds.
None of the Round Port GTO style manifolds will fit on a 1965 "D-Port" head.

So not sure who told you, that you have RAM AIR II exhaust manifolds on your 65 GTO with 1965 Heads.

Sorry to hear about your 1965 cast iron Tri-Power Intake crack issue.
