Thanks for the great input folks. Is a 350 V8 a big block? Yes, I know nothing about this truck and am still in the process of learning, it's ok to chuckle at me. The weather hasn't cooperated lately and i haven't been able to crawl under the truck to look for brackets holding the exhaust or heat shields (where are theHS located). The engine was rebuilt/replaced and the numbers on the block are V0319TYZ, so it's a 1975 (not 1971 like the rest of the truck), 350. I know it's still a V8 though.

Can the hole in the pipe be plugged or should i get new pipes put on. I'm thinking new pipes since the current ones will probable rust out again in the near future and makes a bad noise (i like the sound of the mufflers now).

Thanks again
