Default Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant

FS/D I am way to deep in to it to change now but I have the 6.1 DP that came with the car and a replacement 09 street engine and a 15 6.4 street engine just in case.

I had to get more tie raps and band aids. I am about to believe that no matter how many times you route and re route sensor wires it is never what you are satisfied with.
I am hopeful that I can get the car on the scales this weekend.

Dumbo is obviously not a joy to work on.

Good thing you don’t have a late 60’s Mustang with an FE. LOL

Had a neighbor that had a 69 car with 428 and one really long Saturday we installing them in the parking lot of the apartment. The bottom bolts were a real challenge. Worst thing eight pipes and no instructions. It did not go smoothly.

Note to self: Never buy an FS/ anything!
