Not much to look at right now. Frame is out from under it and getting ready to paint the frame. Motor and transmission are built for it. I think a 454 bored 30 over should move it down the road ok. It has good heads on it with a 580 lift cam.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust System - LS 5
Has anybody heard of or used these guys? http://www.grabthepower.com/ There is a local muffler shop that has given me a price of $300 for a 2 1/2" dual system on my big block V-6 pick up and I'm wanting a little feedback from users. http://stovebolt.com/gallery/pruett_richard_1967.htm Also, I'm interested in comments as to where to bring out the pipes. Turn down underneath? Straight out the back? Out the side; behind the rear wheels or before? I'm not looking for originally here; original single 2" pipe came out behind driver side rear wheel. What I want to achieve is to allow this old engine to breath as best as she can. I recently opened up the air flow on this big boy by installing an oversized air filter and raising the breather cover 1/2"; now bringing in air all around rather than sucking it through the 1 1/2" snorkel but keeping the original look. That made a huge difference!! Any and all thoughts are welcome.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust System - LS 5
I just installed a new exhaust system on my 69 El Camino w/350 SBC and used 2.5" & 3" aluminized tubing with Flowmaster series 40 Delta Flows. One word describes it: loud. The newer Pypes stuff is pretty good.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust System - LS 5
Here's my previous post about Pypes: I bought my 3" exhaust from pypes exhaust, and it is awesome.http://www.pypesexhaust.com/I mocked up the kit myself, and easily could have put it on if I would havehad a lift. The exhaust over the rear axle was a PITA, so I brought it tothe muffler shop, and they put it on cheap. They said it was the best kitthey had ever put in. I got the X pipe with the cut outs so that I can getthat race sound when I want (I plan on putting the electric cutouts on thecar soon), but went with the pypes mufflers because the 502 has a big voice,and I wanted to be somewhat quiet when idling through the neighborhood. Itstill sounds great though, and has a very deep/mean bass sound when idling.LaterCharleswww.65ss.com P.S. I had nothing but great stuff from them. When I called with questions they took the time, and helped me, and the kit was almost perfect fit. One tail pipe was slightly cocked (1/2", probably wouldn't have noticed) but the muffler shop fixed it. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Sent: Saturday, June 04, 2005 6:29 AM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust System - LS 5 I am going to put a new exhaust system on my '70 LS5 and am considering Flowmasters series 30 or a system by Pypes Performance Exhaust.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust System - LS 5
-- Original message -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > any experience with the Pypes Performance company? Check the forums/boards at performanceyears.com for threads relating to PYPES, and also ask about the availability of instructions, support, etc. before making a purchase. I bought one of the early PYPES systems a couple of years ago and it came with no instructions, just a photo that was barely helpful. And the website kept saying that the online instructions were "coming soon" but when I checked back last year they still weren't up. I have the system on my car but have never been truly happy with it; I had to do quite a lot of modifying to get it to fit and it still hangs too low for my taste (Trans Am, which doesn't have much ground clearance to begin with). In fact, I'm planning on working on it today in case I hook up with the Power Tour tomorrow... Hopefully PYPES' products and service have improved since 2003 but I'd do some serious research before sending them any money, based on what I went through. You can also check the threads at classicalpontiac.com (Performance Years started out as strictly Pontiac) for some opinions. Good luck! Brad O.
