Now THAT is a super firewall.

 

[Gastrick]

It was a fun filled day. Here's what I got completed. I got some other little things done but here's the condensed version.

I added a vacuum port to the very rear of my intake. I put it there so it wouldn't be highly visible.


I finished my Chrysler frame mounts then cut and ground the old Chevy engine mounts from the frame and did some quickie touch up painting.


I lifted the Chrysler off of it's stand and bolted up the trans adapter and flexplate.


Stand by I'm not finished...........................................

[maddog]

Oh boy!
Pipes.
Pipes.
What kind of pipes?

 

[Bonehead]

Here are some pipes.

Thanks Banjoman. Those rivets are most commonly referred to as "solid rivets". You can get them from McMaster-Carr.

And he knocks another one over the fence!!!

WOW you made a killer ride even better

 

[Gastrick]

Bonehead and Maddog, my pipes are going to be boring. I'm using Chrysler 300 exhaust manifolds. They are sort of a ram's horn type deal. All of the exhaust will be between the frame rails and under the car so I can remain aerodynamically sound

 

[moronthethrottle]

ZOINKS

Boring?!??!!! You could put drain pipes on that hp pump and she still would be far from boring! I hope you install an ejector seat cuz that machine is going to FLY!

 

[FresnoRatRod]

That is one nice setup, love the pipes, love the motor and the truck is clean. Im jealous for sure.

Sorry, I guess I messed up the thread.. I don't get an "edit" button on it to take it out.
Anyway, Gastrick's ride makes that truck look like it has not been started on yet.
