PowerPipe Exhaust for slant/6
PowerPipe up date!! Here is some fitment info. The information I received was, if I build a set with straight down drop clearance of 1" these would work on the in a 64,65,66 A-body. So I did this with a drop clearance of 1 3/4" to have some motor movement room as well. When I saw the engine compartment was smaller in width than the 67 and up cars!! Figured we would have a little problem.
First thing we did was put a motor and tranny in the car. We used his 65 Valiant, We installed a 225 in the car first. We installed the PowerPipe-SC first and it fit!! Looks a little tight for exhaust connection but it can be done. This will work with the Clifford intake with the water connection style protruding from the bottom of intake.
We will need to slash cut the front of the 3" section for water pump clearance with the 170 not a big deal
On to the PowerPipe-DC. These worked as well, just need to change the direction of the exhaust connection. This change only if you run the Clifford intake that we spoke of earlier. While changing the flanges and slash cutting the front section we would change the connection angle also for the 170
Now on to the True flow design. The front half of this set did work with the 225,
and for the 170 I would need to raise the connection a little, the back half needing work to fit. With this set showed the difference in the width of the cars about 2 1/2"=1 1/4" on the exhaust side
Ok the last set that was made would not work in his 65 without re-working. Keep in mind that, they all work in my 72 Duster with power steering. We will be building long and short tube headers for this application. (per Charlie) Honesty is the key.
Thanks to all for your input on this build + and -. We are so close, Not stopping!!! The plan is now his 65 Valiant will be comming home with me soon as Charlie gets a 170 ready. He said 1 or 2 weeks it should be ready. If you all need anyting for a slant build I would contact Charlie, alot of parts in stock, oil pumps, pistons, cams, gears, ect, ect. All the good slant stuff. Talk to yall soon Don!!!
