Yesterday I painted the new water pump and harmonic balancer. I got the pan off the transmission and cleaned that up some more. I got stalled out on that because the wiring instructions for the kit I bought only showed one internal switch where I have 2. Bowtie Overdrives (maker of the kit) says to use the one closest to the outside of the case.

A couple of weeks ago my wife agreed to go on the Power Tour with me this year. Last week we got our child care dialed in and I booked hotels and registered. Now all I need is a car to drive.
Here is the current state of the car:

After assembling a pretty decent interior I swapped over the power front disc brakes. About a year after that I sold the motor and transmission to some young kid that was going to use it in a T-bucket. His family builds fiberglass tubs and everyone else had big V-8s.
My plan was to install the 350 from the other car that spring, but that was not to be. The closest I got was stripping the paint from the motor. Two years later I was looking at this.

My old 69 impala winter beater was the same. It had a near mint interior, but was a rusted out box on the outside. I knew the body was bad, but didnt realize the frame rails were rusted away too until after I drove it Cali.

My 69 Impala winter beater I had in Nebraska was the same. Interior near mint, but car was totally rusted out, frame included. I didnt realize the frame was rusted away above the rear axle until after I drove the car to Cali.

No, BUT, it did come with pipes that I did not attach that would take it to the bumper, and it'd look I think pretty much just like what I can see in the picture of the backsides of your cars.
Here is a picture, mind you this picture was taken in 'mock up' stage so they aren't quite centered, etc, but essentially that is where the exhaust exits. I've been contemplating playing with either adding the pipes to take it to the bumper or add exhaust tips to it and see if the sound in and out of the car changes. I'd use simple clamps for testing.

I just installed the system on the right on my car, and I hadn't seen a muffler setup like the one you have pictured there. I'm looking to see if I can quiet the car up a bit more, but I might be asking too much of the muffler with the high'ish compression and cam.
