Wow Bren:
How do you sleep at night knowing the mayhem housed in your garage?
Looks great. Like the headlights.

Doing some test fitting with a 1600.    Engine was a little high and off center in the engine bay. Think I have most of that sorted out now. Exhaust I have does not want to fit below the apron. Probably going to run no apron or decklid until I get that sorted. Was thinking about running the 1600 for a week or two but now that this is done:  well, plans have changed! Test fitting the '67 on the newly updated trailer. New steel runners, spare mount, ramp mounts etc.  |

Love the photos  Thanks! What about cutting the stinger, and rewelding it at a different angle? Or is the header too close to the apron? |

Can't wait to see this on the track Saturday!
Apron fit looks ok to me. With solid mounts, the exhaust shouldn't be moving very much.

I guess I did a little false advertising above.
That exhaust is with stock heater boxes and a merged exhaust with stinger.
What I plan to run is a all ceramic merged exhaust. Unfortunately it is higher at the apron. The header hits. Needs about a two inch high cut out.
I hope to have it all in tonight so more photos later....

I thought the flange for the stinger looked a little forward compared to most merged systems. You should run the heater boxes  Never know when it might get cold and they'll give you more road hugging weight ;D ;D ;D |

Thinking no apron or decklid for less weight!
High exhaust will be good for wheelies!

I thought Aprons were for Housewife's ;D ;D ;D ;D Now that is funny. Lot's of progress tonight. Tomorrow I hope to have it completely ready to fire. Need to finish the breather lines and make the plug wires, etc. Need to find a better way to mount the oil filter. Not sure how yet. Could use a bracket that mounts to the exhaust studs but this is a thick flange exhaust and there is no room on the stud. Maybe I can back it out enough.  New front tranny mount and some other adjusting and it is much closer to fitting under the apron. Thinking I might just modify this one and make it work.   |
