RH Exhaust Manifold 65-66 GTO
There was a design change made on the RH (passenger side) exhaust manifold in ‘66.
The ‘65 RH manifold had a round casting at each end, whereas the 1966 had a revised, stronger casting at each end. 1) 1964 RH exhaust manifold. 2) 1965 RH exhaust manifold. 3) Factory photo of a 1965 GTO engine. 4) RH manifold on Scott Tiemann’s ‘65 show winner (Pontiac build). 5) Same showing the round front casting on the ‘65 manifold. My 11A Baltimore build ‘65 Survivor also has this round casting.

My '65 was a late build, mid July 1965, and it has that '66 revised stronger design right manifold. I'll take some photos of it this week and post.

The round earlier castings are more elegant.
That is if an exhaust manifold can be considered elegant.
