Re: Li'l Red Rides Again

Goin in with the 6.0



She fits like a glove



But as expected the factory LQ4 exhaust manifolds want to occupy the same space as the 72 frame. They flair out away from the block to much. So I ordered a set of LS2 manifolds to solve the problem.



This shows the slightly more block hugging design of the LS2 manifolds



Now we are good to go...




Except the Buick/Olds/Pontiac/Chevy bell housing on my 200-4r hits the inner side of the drivers manifold. I put a quick notch in it and we are back in business. I don't think a regular chevy only bellhousing would have this extra material.



A little of this...


And now we have this.
