We finished the exhaust today, and the last of the beer too, good timing on our part.
Call me cooky but with the muffs aimed like that and the distance from your rear end, arent you worried about boiling your brake fluid hence hampering your braking from a fastasfuk 1/4 run? Or any other time for that matter. Not to mention the wiring you have running on the pass side. It's really hard to judge distance from the pics but, it would be interesting to see how hot it would get there after a good blast down the track. Just thinkin safety bro.

Its freaky how fast they dissipate heat. I put over 180 amps to it for over a minute when welding the hanger on and with a little air flowing over it, I picked it up after 2-3 minutes and it was room temp.

2004 Impala LS 3.8 -
Yanked the mock-up motor last night and pulled the tranny. The tranny will be dropped off at T-N-T Tranmission on Monday just to be checked out. Ted does a hell of a job. Had him do the re-build last summer right after P-10. Had a few runs on it then had it out for other things and he told me to bring it over just so he could take a look. Tore it down, everything looked good, so I put it back in. Figured it was out now so I would have him take another peak at it. Anyways the motor should be ready to be picked up early next week. Still have a lot of wiring to do and some suspension changes yet. I still haven't decided if I am going to change gears or not. Either I'll keep the 3.27's in it or put some 3.08's in it. I did make a custom Tranny crossmember for it the other night. I couldn't get my little Miller 135 to get very good penetration so I dropped it off over to 63Vette for a little tig action.

Looks good. :icon_cheers: Did you make the oil pan?I made it black.. It is a Canton piece "of shit". Another thing that takes a hammer to make fit. Any manufacturer that says bolt-on is a liar.
