Headers That Have Removable Plates So I Can Bypass The Muffler And Dump It Straight Out. And The Wing On The Back Retracts Like The One On The Porsche.

Nice! My header dumps straight into my midpipe. (which I have custimized to connect DIRECTLY to my muffler via stainless steel pipe!)

This makes exhaust gases actually exit at the rear of the car! Maybe I should write up another how-to.

You know, there might have been an easier way to swap a big-power GM motor into your truck. Back in the day...these older redneck kids that were alternately my friends/chased me and tried to steal my skateboard...one of them had an old early 80's Toyota 4x4 up on swampers...He said he had a Buick Grandnational engine in it(3.8L I6 turbo???)...it must have been popular, they even made kits at some point w/ the motor mounts...It could smoke those big swampers! Your ahead of me when I was 16 because I didn't know what the heck engine I was looking at, but it fit, barely.

Most days I find it in my driveway...but it only gets the slicks on for 'special events' and yeah, definitely NOT auto-x
