  3. Don't have a drawing but I got our flanges from Speedway. Very nice pieces and the headers turned out well....

    I'm about ready for the exhaust and not sure what size tubing to use? It's a 296 ci 59 AB block with an Isky 400 jr. cam and 4 two venturie throttle bodies with Excel computer. I'm not sure what size tubing to use but I'm going to put a set of 3" cutouts to run on the outside under the doors. The project is a '48 Ford F-1 with AirRide suspension, dropped axle and quick change rear end along with some other goodies. It's been so long since I really built anything that I've forgotten more than I ever knew, if that's possible? I'm thinking 2" or maybe 2 1/4" but not sure. Any suggestions?

    Since he posted that January 14, 2014 I'd say he did.
