Anyone successfully use A Body big block Fenderwell headers on their 2wd truck? I'm reading it should work, but no pics.

Not doing fender well headers after all. They make it tough to use a balance pipe.

The biggest truck header I can find is 1-3/4" primaries. Anyone know if there are affordable 1-7/8" that will fit? Some say the B&E headers will fit.

440 looked good so it is going back together with a set of stock closed chamber heads... For now.

Avoid the ladders for street use. I know its not your rock crawler but ladders do not allow for any articulation. Save those for big tire drag strip use only.

Love the build. Big block in a 78. ☺

Yeah, I'm leaning towards bagging the thing. Never had a street vehicle with bags and I understand they ride really well.

Well, it runs. Had to rebuild the carb.

Scrapped the header idea for now. Found a set of manifolds.

Couldn't find the correct shift and kick down linkages, so I got some from other vehicles and made it work.

Next will be to narrow the Dana 60. Then I can have the driveshaft shortened and then fill the trans with fluid.

Got the difficult part of the exhaust done tonight. Next the pipe to the muffler. 2 x 2.25" to 3".

Exhaust is done. Put in a wideband O2 sensor for easier tuning.



Cleaned up the 60.
