Nice job on the headers, its a shame they don't come like that already.

Because the car is so low and the transmission and rear end are tucked up much higher than stock, the angle of the drivetrain makes the headers worse. They are probably good for most applications. Don't want to rip on Edelbrock. Modifiying their quality headers was still much cheaper than making them from scratch.

Awesome, awesome project. The tie-in with your dad's car just makes everything that much better. Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely be watching for updates.

I agree, an awesome project, and the tie-in with your Dad's 72 makes it just that much cooler.

The exhaust system is just about complete. The edelbrock headers go into an all stainless steel pipe with a custom built cross over. There are two Magnaflow straight thru mufflers and then go into one pipe. After they merge into one pipe, the exhaust then travels thru a large straight thru Borla muffler. The goal is to get good flow and keep the car fairly quiet. The exhaust will exit out the quarter panel, between the door and wheel opening. I will show photos of that later. The tunnel had to be expanded for the exhaust.

These are photo of the installed fuel cell. We cut out part of the rusted out floor. A new floor section will be installed later.

Thanks!
