I’m a little surprised you guys keep looking at my posts given how little cruiser content there is here, so thanks for following along. I will keep posting if you keep looking.
Here is a pic of the sway bar installed in the back and the duel exhaust tail pipes I did today.
More pics of the exhaust from today. To do this I bought a 2.5” builder kit, 2 flex joints, 1 V band (waiting on 2 more) from summit, 2 small cheap flow through mufflers from KMS Tools and cut the manifold flanges out of 3/8” flat bar with my plasma cutter. So far every thing is just tacked with my mig. I will be practicing up on DC big this week then pull the exhaust out to tig it up. The V bands will make it possible to pull out in 3 pieces. the crossover pipe is really tight between the front cv yoke and the trans/black box mount. May do a little hammer clearancing on this area and wrap with exhaust wrap. I reused a few of the toyota rubber hangers and installed a 2” H pipe crossover to take some of the snap out of what is sure to be a louder setup.
On a more exciting note the lq4 will be coming out and this LS2 will be going in!!
All aluminum, saving 200 lbs up front over the iron head/block lq4
243 heads 10.9:1 compression, premium gas only
Cam will be 216/220 .560 lift 114 duration, should be 400 hp 400 ft lbs
Looks like cromoly axle shafts are in my future.
