I finally got the motor in!

hey all,
i got my 350 in! just wanted to let you know and see what you thought of my new setup. the car went from 2.8 to 350. i put moroso solid motor mounts and pads, stock 350 longblock from 91 4X4 Jimmy, Holley street dominator intake, Holley 600VS. i also have hedmen shorty headers and ypipe, moroso spiral muffler in place of the catalytic converter, a jegs cutout after the spiral muffler and a dynomax cat back the rest of the way out. i have to run to N.C. on friday to go to Third Gen Resource. i am picking up a v8700r4 and a used radiator.

so, what do ya'll think?

Why would you put the cutout after the muffler?

because the spiral muffler sounds sooooo good and there is not any noticable back pressure.

Did you read that he has a dynomax catback after the spiral muffler? That will make it real quiet for normal use, but if he opens the cutout it will sound like he just has the spiral muffler.
