Thanks...it will most likely get a bit quieter when I finish the exhaust. I want it to come back and finish out behind the rear wheels. Like factory. I should have that done sometime in April or May.

Does anyone have any suggestions on upper and lower A frame bushings? I don't have a problem going with a stock replacement. I just don't want to get an aftermarket brand and have them be red or blue. I'd like to find a set that would offer some more stability but still have the stock appearence in a stock A frame. Any thoughts?

I am running stock exhaust manifolds. They are off of a 74-76 454 pick up or suburban. I also ceramic coated them in cast iron gray. Headers won't fit with the four speed unless you use a hydryalic clutch. There should be a spot in the video that shows the exhaust manifolds pretty good.

You could use Hooker 2241s with the big block and regular clutch. I have that set up in my 78 Bu. One of the tubes requires slight modification to clear the Z bar.
