8-71 blown 355 exhaust ideas?
does any one out there make or have ideas on exhaust for this engine. It is being built mostly for the strip but requires exhaust all the way to the bumper(I am stationed overseas in italy and for inspection it has to be past the passenger compartments).
The engine is a 8-71 blown 355 with AFR 210's, solid roller isky cam with 266/276 @ .050 and .656/,672 in lift. 3700rpm stall and 4.11's(just decided on the stall, figured still ok for local area driving and still good for the strip).
I have seen some 1 7/8 headers I think from hooker but for actual exhaust I'm stuck. No one here bends tubing. I was hoping to find a full duel 3in, but see no one makes it. I also saw a ad for a single 4in, from muflex I think.
Does any one use the 4in mufflex on something like this. If I was in the states I would just run 3in tubing to the rear end housing.
It will be a little while before I am ready for the exhaust but just trying to get all my ducks in a row. The engine is still in parts in the garage. Waiting for my main and head studs from the states. can't go too far without those.
by the way, I'm new to the site but can't get enough. I just started on this car and all you guys out there have answered so many questions I had, and saved me so many headaches. Thanks again.
I also thought about cutting and welding a set up with U-bends and strait pipe. That may be what I end up doing. Thanks
