Re: 77 Cheyenne meets Ramjet 350 by N2TRUX

You know the saying "Two steps forward, and one step back" don't you? That was brought fresh to my mind by the next step along the way to a new motor. Even though the "retro" look had been abandoned, I still wanted to use a set of 2.5" Corvette Ram Horn exhaust manifolds I had.

I bought them off of Ebay with the intentions of using them when I needed a new motor. They sat on a shelf in my garage for a few months before they were needed. I shipped them to Stoked Out, and they discovered both of the manifolds were cracked at the flange and had been epoxied back together.

Of course they had been sitting on my shelf just long enough for the information of the auction to go away. That meant I had no way to contact the guy that sold them to me. So much for trusting someone with 97% positive feedback.

At least we were able to use them to mock up the exhaust. This was a test fit to see if they would clear the motor mount cover. The passenger side clears with room to spare.
