Re: A '54 named Busty
so because of a couple really hot days, I didn't get to wrench on the truck and fell in a very rare position where I had more parts than time, so let's see what arrived

Good that they came. That heat is terrible.

Re: A '54 named Busty
Well, maybe, they sure didn't slip right on, had to remove the starter heat shield to get the passenger exhaust manifold to bolt up, but that was the least of the headaches...

Re: A '54 named Busty
then although I chased the threads in the holes, and wire wheeled the exhaust manifold bolts, and even used anti seize on them, one of the bolt heads broke off on me, darn it! and I wasn't even in the ultimate tightening phase yet - wth?
Note: this is very common so I didn't even have to make a deposit to the swear jar, I swear - ha ha Last edited by Gregski; 06-27-2020 at 09:39 PM. |

Re: A '54 named Busty
... and that still wasn't the worst of it!
both Hooker down pipes were clocked wrong for the second gen Camaro subframe leaving no room for the O2 sensors |

Re: A '54 named Busty
and then it was on to the intermediate pipes, here is the driver side done!
Notice I decided to keep things difficult and make the entire 6' stretch out of nothing but 6" or shorter pieces, ha ha (had to use what I had on the account of the virus and all) |

Re: A '54 named Busty
yeah, the trick is to keep your head down and not let them upsell you like last time, when they ask what it's for it's for a 350 small block with a TH350 that's it, cause if you start running your mouth and saying it's for an LS Swap and you want up to 500 horse at the rear wheels they will sell you a whole different brand new drive shaft, and fact is you won't be pulling that much power in your truck, at least not for a while
