Smaller diameter pipe will quiet it down. You could look into 3 chamber mufflers, or anything closer to OEM parts. Stock FBody cars are not that loud, how quiet do you want to be? Stock? It's all personal opinion I have always thought Manaflow was quiet...er at least.

Thats a great run. The 3.8s are very good runners, and a 200 trans is a good combo for it. My Elco with its stock drivetrain made it to 178,000 Mi. Then I got ahold of it! Good luck with the small block swap.

I have heard of Flexfans coming appart and flying through fenders/hoods. Speaking of exploding engine compartments have you ever seen a Diesel engine "run-a-way"? I had one happen at my old shop and it was ugly. 6.9L Ford Diesel reved out for over a minute, then blew the whole hood off. The...

Yeah, I saw the link on my XBox Dashboard today. I'm going to go buy it for sure. Sounds cool, and I loved FM2.

What was the LT1 & Trans out of origionally?

I agree. I went from stock 2.41 gears to 3.73 and I had the response your looking for. It made the car feel like I gained a 100HP. You gain a lot from gears and they are relativly cheap and easy to install, compared to a converter. If your going to do them anyways later on, do them now and see...

The heat from excessive braking helps speed up the process. In the shop I have seen loose lug nuts on more often than not of vehicles with blued brakes. But I agree Aluminum is the worst.

I agree, its not any thing worse than any other flu, the difference is that schools are being closed and the media is making a disaster out of it. Your more likley to get TB than N1H1, but no one is freaking out about that, both are airborne and contagous.

If your driving hard you should be checking tire pressure too. I retorque my wheels and check tire pressure when I take it out, (not a daily driver)

I like it, I love GBody's with a rake. And the primer black looks cool, very streefighter esque!

Keep it! It looks sweet. You don't see many Monte's set up like that. I like it!

Re: Anyone know CutlassJim?? That sucks. Something like that should get you banned. Hopefully no one else has the misfortune of buying anything from him in the future.

I agree, I think that this whole emergency is to show the need for socialized health care. The media hype and the way the President is pushing the issue there is some type of end-game.

Now that Obama elevated the current N1H1 Flu to a "National Emergency" is this thing for real? Just curious to hear what everyone things. I personally thing that this thing is all Hype. I'm not any more worried about N1H1 than I am about getting a head cold. 400 people die from it and it is a...

I have seen Lambo doors done on a couple of GBodys. I'm not a big fan, I don't really see the point, but I agree that on the right project it can be cool. If your going to do that you should loose the exterior trim and shave the door handles, just my opinion.

Ford Taurus fans are a big favorite, 90's Bodystyle. I worked for Ford and guys would order them for projects. They are dual fan two stage.

Depending on what model you buy you do have the added bonus of a rev limiter.

When it comes to gaskets, you get what you pay for. I opted for good rubber ones on my last build, and I've been very happy. I have not had a leak yet, and you can remove them with out having to worry about tearing your gasket apart.

Yeah, the G80 Code is a Gov Loc. It acts like an open rearend until you have some slip then it locks up. People love them or they hate them. I just replaced one in my daily driver. They typically stop working altogether, if your going to go to all the trouble of swaping out the internals buy a...

I would agree that both, 18K Is about as close to a "blank check" as you can get, at least for most of us, and that is a little excessive for that motor. I would argue that with that kind of budget, you could put the money towards a heavier duty drivetrain and tires, and shop around for engine...
