Re: A '54 named Busty
alright then, but how do they fit?
well the passenger side just barely clears the frame, we are talking about 3/16ths of space the driver side has a plenty of room |

I don't usually do LS Swaps,
but when I do... I prefer for it to be scorching hot! |

Re: A '54 named Busty
Yeah, I made that mistake once! You got me beat today too. Low 71, High 84 with 100% humidity. Hydrate and take breaks, and beer doesn't hydrate!

Re: A '54 named Busty
then it was time to maketize the driver side
not pretty but strong, hard to tell in the pics but the downpipe doesn't go straight down in goes down and in little bit towards the trans to clear the brake setup underneath |

Re: A '54 named Busty
ah yep half a dozen different barb fittings and still not one the right size! (couple didn't show up for the picture, but they're hiding in the drawer of useless junk)
here I am just doing a trial fitment with the smallest one I had, the threads are right, but the barb is too small for the hose not crazy how the vapor hose loops anyway so may change that when I get the right size fitting as well |
