[QUOTE=Joey~AP;2857948]Exhaust

I bought some Flowtech ceramic headers. The flange didnt line up with the head very well, so I cut the flanges.

I used Thrush turbos and used 2-1/2" EMT for exhaust pipe.



Never thought of using EMT for exhaust. Good idea. I thought of using 1/2" aluminum IMC to run the wiring to my rear tank and tail lights.

I used it on my PSD. Holds up and works well.

It makes some folks sick to weld, but if ya drink milk afterwards, you wont notice it, you wont notice it, you wont notice it.

Hey I love your build ! looks awesome. I am putting a 65 on a 77 k20 frame and have a quick question for you. How did you mount your Radiator ?

Thanks for the help.






[QUOTE=Joey~AP;3747526]We still had the original radiator in it. About a month ago....it laid down on us.

The old one.

I couldnt find a OEM replacement that I could afford, but I did find an aluminum one that was very affordable.

The 1st on came in and it looked like it had got ran over by a bulldozer!

They sent me a 2nd with no hassle. It fit well and was set-up for an automatic, so now we have a secondary transmission cooler.
