Re: 81 K5 "Arctic Blaze" H.O. 5.3 / SM465 swap

Put these suckers back in today, This was the original cross member that came with the th350 / NP208 combo, it bolted to the SM465 / NP205 adapter with the same bushings. It moved forward on the frame roughly 2 inches.


Mocked up and tacked the exhaust, I got a 10' stick of 2-1/2 OD from an exhaust shop up the street for 30 bucks, then a few thrush welded mufflers from Oreillys. For the mandrel bends I cut up an old F-body y-pipe, worked out well.
