Really?
So you're planning on sticking with the stock I-6? [Reply]
Depends on what he plans for it.
If he's going to restore it and flip it then yea, keep it stock.
But those Toyota axles will handle an SBC drive line and 35" tires without a whimper so if he plans to take it off roading that's what I would do with it. [Reply]

Easiest way to share is to upload it to Imgur or similar and share the link (if you use Imgur use the HTML link here; you will likely need to include a height and width tag to the HTML code; e.g. height=500 width=800). You can create private folders and share photos individually. Example (my SuperBee):
Got the gas tank out of the land cruiser yesterday. The hard lines are plugged up bad. I plan on spending some time doing a deep clean tomorrow on it and a quadracer lt250r I’m fixing up. But got the old girl to fire off and run off a two gallon gas can. We had to jump the coil and have a few gremlins to chase down. And I just saw it was asked if we were leaving it with the I6. That’s the plan. It’s honestly just gonna be a put around town rig. We’ve got some 8ply dot approved tires we pulled off my dads razr because they were too stiff, that were going to throw on some original looking wheels.
It’s been slow going, my dad had hip surgery three weeks ago to the day. But while he was in the hospital he ordered plenty of Toyota stuff. I mocked the wheels up today. The balancer is off so I’ve got to calibrate it and balance them tomorrow, then start on seats brackets and seats. We’ve decided to just get it running right for this summer the. Attack body work next winter when my dads hip is closer to 100%

I bought a 79 Trans Am. It will have a 403 that's just shy of 500 horse. I'm trying to sort out the exhaust. I want to run cats because exhaust odors give me bad headaches anymore. So what cats and mufflers could I run that would perform well and sound good? Preferable without bad drone. X-pipe or h-pipe? It'll be a toy for the wife and I to cruise in and take day trips.
