Re: Project: No Name
Check out my exhaust, my truck has a 5"/7" drop and the exhaust comes out the side in front of the rear tires. It is 2.5" from the headers all the way back. I have always loved side exhaust so I made it work on this truck. I also ran mine over the tranny crossmember and thru the trailing arm crossmember. If you want to re use your flows then all you would need is 3" to 2.5" reducers. Good luck with it.

Re: Project: No Name
I didn't get many pics this weekend, I was just trying to get a few things done. But, I did get the rear suspension all but finished. All that is left is to buy and install shocks and have the exhaust redone.
![]() ![]() Here's the only shot I took of the wiring I did. Nothing special. Here are a few of the pics I did take. The factory track bar was a pain in the butt to get off, so I just cut the nut off and used a gear puller I borrowed from work to get it off. A pick I took to show how messy I am when I work on my truck. ![]() And here it is all finished up. Minus the shocks.

Re: Project: No Name
Here are a few bigger pics. And WOW!! The iPhone takes way better pics then my old crappy phone. And I think I'm gonna stick with photobucket to upload my pics. They are bigger and look better IMO.

Re: Project: No Name
Good job.
You know what everyone says,... "looks like the rear needs to be a little lower". Ha. Maybe a 1.5" drop block from member way2lo2, would be an easy fix? http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=454824

Re: Project: No Name
I was thinking the same thing. Is it just me or does the front look lower then 3". I bought the spring from friend I went to college with. He bought them about 5 years ago, he was pretty sure they were 3'" front 5" rear. I'm thinking the rears might not quite be 5", maybe 4" or even 3". But I'll definitely be adding a block in the rear. I have access to a lot of material and machinery at work so I think I'll make the blocks and order up the U-bolts from him.

Re: Project: No Name

Re: Project: No Name
Thanks, as you can see from the pics the exhaust hangs a little low now.

Re: Project: No Name
I still have no updates, and even less money. I need to find a better job or rob a bank. I've been tossing around the idea of an LS swap but that goes back to the no money thing.

Re: Project: No Name
I actually kind of like the rear a little higher like that... On your truck it gives it a little bit of a dont mess with me look...

Re: Project: No Name
A little update. I've had the shocks on for awhile and I really like the way they ride. No exhaust yet though. I was driving it everyday for a while but a carb issue popped up. When I first got the truck a friend of mine convinced me I needed to get rid of the Edelbrock 1406 that was on it and put on a Demon 750. I know know enough to know that is way too much carb for a stock 350. Well, the Demon started leaking on me and flooding on the primary side. It leaked from the primary accelerator pump, the main throttle shaft and I had fuel spraying out of the vent tube and it had a really hard time running. After a few days of me being all sad sackey and not wanting to do anything, a guy at work had a spare Holley 1850-3 600CFM that had been rebuilt and put on the shelf in his garage about a year or two ago. I got home last night and put it on. Started up after a little cranking to get gas up to the carb and ran great. It had a few little leaks. One of which was the front needle and seat. I tightened the top screw a tad and that leak went away. The last and biggest leak was from the banjo fitting for the main fuel feed line. I tried to tighten it a tad, and POP. I stripped out the threads in the bowl.

Re: Project: No Name
My wife just texted me and asked the same question. I think we Might make the trip but we'll have to take the Impala. I still haven't had a chance to get to the exhaust shop.
