1972 cutlass supreme

I have a 72 cutlass but I am switching the 350 for a 403. Does anyone know if the 350 manifolds will work on the 403? If not, any advise on this swap? Chrisroberts376@yahoo.com

Welcome, Straight swap. The only difference that may delay you are on the exhaust manifolds where they exit. The flanges could be different where they bolt to the down pipes. Good luck with it.

The 350 and 403 Olds motors are externally identical. Everything swaps. Bolt the 350 manifolds to the 403 and the car will never know the difference. Be sure to use the motor mounts for the car (2261s).

Thanks for the advise guys. I dropped off the manifolds and they fit perfect!

Good to hear it worked out for you Robert. Does the 403 seem to have more power?
