    So, I finished welding up my exhaust a couple weeks ago, and yesterday grew a wild hair to start my motor up again only this time linked to the exhaust. I welded in a set of Porter Mufflers and I'm in love. Here are the two videos:

    And here's a video of me revving her up a little:

    As far as I'm concerned nothing has sounded better in my whole life.

    What size is the Y Block ? Also wondering what size exhaust tubing you went with ?

    Sounds nice. :) What's the chassis for ?

    If you were to look at his statistics the last time he was logged in was before you originaly asked your question.
     
  12. Grovedawg is a buddy of mine. It is a 333 CID Y Block if I remember correctly, and the chassis is a 1955 Ford pickup.

    Sorry I've been busy at work. Which is a nice change! ;) It is a 333 on a heavily modified F350 Chasis. If you want engine details you can go look at my build thread. It's been a fun ride for sure! I just can't wait to get everything done!

    Hey, all is good, nice to be busy, thanks for the message I'll have to have a look at your build thread.

    Love the Y blocks, will be happy when I can have my 312 built.
     
  18. Y-blocks rule! Sweet! Love that sound. (Has a lot to do with the firing order, correct?)
