    How big of an and cap pocket is there going to be? I like the looks of these and they should sound real mellow. The shear size of them and the tube diameter should be more than enough to silence that blown flatty..

    Good work as usual Stefan

    I am often shocked what good cars you guys in the states are parting out.

    My merc was a same rustbucket when started but now is a wonderfull fun i love...

    But we often dont find better projects here in europe!

    So keep going on Stefan, nice to see your work!!!

    Very nice.

    Like I said, those are big mufflers for a flatty. Just about right for a hopped up Smallblock chev. So the flow from your blown flatty should make good use of those.

    Don't forget the drain hole. I would hate to see them rust from condensation forming pools settling in the bottoms.

    Excellently executed Stefan. You are an engineer, that is why I knew you had the bases covered.

    There is little more made on the mufflers

    [​IMG]

    And i will not do a drain hole and they will not rust they are in made in AISI 304
    Stainless Steel

    I have used the same model of mufflers in 20 year on my Olds Cutlass 66 with a 455"
    and it sound good

    I should have known that they were stainless. I was fooled by the tubes appearance in the picture.

    Will you be posting a video of them in action? I love the sound of a good exhaust note.

    Great work as usual.

    shame, it would be cool a small car looking period on the outside, but hi-performance on the inside like the ford A with a cosworth bda I found once

    A cosworth bda in a a-ford is not comon. The bda were used in ford escort MKI rally/race version.

    Imagine what you could get done if you lived in the Southeast USA, or Southern California? It's no wonder that hotrodding began in SoCal where you can work on your car year 'round!!

    I love your gumption/RÅDIGHET/resourcefulness, Stephan!!
     
  29. Looks good.
    Tell me, is there any limit to your skills... :D
