I like this idea too, I have a similar tranny mount. But isn't that going to block the exhaust pipe on that side?

J.
I did some measurement and it should fit. Its gonna be pretty close but it should clear everything if I give it a slight angle down. Im gonna cut my 3" catback to pieces this week-end and try to fab a Y-pipe. Just to see what I actually have to deal with.
I tried to do the mount another way but this was the only way it would fit straight with the T/A, be strong enough and keep the adjustability. So I guess Im gonna have to figure out something for the exhaust... maybe oval tubing. Thats why I need to test with real 3" pipes first.
Yep, at the moment - then it'll turn a tire under it's own power, & then it's all over... (OK, I'm just razzin' Spike a little bit - but it IS a bit of a PITA sometimes...)
Holy cow. That thing is so clean it's amazing. I would hate to guess how much you have in the swap thus far, because I know how much I have in my swap right now but your attention to detail is phenomenal. Outstanding

NEVER remind someone how much money they have in their car. I think if I totaled up my reciepts I'd go drive off a cliff.

How did the mock-up go?

just a quick question were are you going to be putting the fuel in at sick car man
In the trunk. Lift the hatch, and the filler will be under a trunk interior trim.

Pretty good actually! Im waiting on my Y connector (3" inlets to 4" single out) to arrive and Ill start assembling my y-pipe. I cut my 3" hooker catback to piece to start fabing the y-pipe. The pipes clears the tranny crossmember and @ full drop, its not even the lowest point of the car; my engine crossmember is @ 1 1/2".
Excellent, please post pics of that when you're done.

If you don't mind my asking, where did you come across those all red tail lights? I'm working on an '84 Berlinetta right now and I really like the way your tails look!
One of the finest builds/restos I've saw, and I have saw a plenty. Inspired me . I have a 88 that I bought new that has a RAMJET 350 in it now. It's getting a ls6 and paint this winter. I may go alittle further, now that I've saw your build. I really like the air bags. Where did you mount the tank & compressor ? Oh yeah, I love the white, shaved look. SUPER clean. Keep up the good work. And never tell or think about the cost. Later, Dean.

I think the 90-92 models all had them. Been a while though.
