We are trying to button up the under car stuff so we can finish the underhood and start this baby up on Saturday. I wanted to drive six blocks on open headers to The Wonderful Muffler Man and get their usual top notch exhaust work done. Tom wanted to use what we had and do our own exhaust. I ordered the headers with 2 1/2" collectors and they sent 3". They hit the crossmember so we cut them shorter and welded a 2 1/2" reducer to them. It turned out well, except our cutting blade wore down so far it wouldn't cut through the pipe anymore, so we didn't quite finish the passenger side. We did measure for the driveshaft, and I had it made with 1350 yokes. They just called and it is done. I am leaving right after this post to pick it up. Finish the exhaust tonight, button up the underhood tomorrow and hopefully fire it up. Then finish the line locks and install the neutral safety and reverse light switches. And then done! Here are some exhausting pics.
And the tip set back farther as I like it, and much higher than they were with the old motor and exhaust. Only the left side is done. View attachment Exhaust tip.jpg
