For the long ram manifold, it is basically one size fits all.

The long ram manifolds for the B block are the same as the manifolds for the
RB block.  Same part numbers.

As for the 1959 Dodge RB 383, forgive the rudeness, but how did you know it
was an RB 383?  And how did you know it was the original engine?

Bill,,,,,,,,,,you have always been a great source and a wealth of
information
on  our vehicles, but this time I think you may have missed
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the
original question was on a set of two piece long rams intake, and they will
work on the B or RB blocks, as they are in two pieces and not a set width,
secondly I had a 59 Dodge with its original 383 RB engine this was an
ambulance,
which might have had something to do with the RB being installed, but none
the
less it had one.
