GQ with a V8 -Exhaust Advice- clearance issues

Post by petri »

I've got a shorty gq with a 350 block.
The R/H pipe just after the extractors has clearance issues due to the drive shaft, starter motor, diff pumpkin etc....

Can anyone with a similar setup advise me on how they have plumbed the r/h side?... either squeezed in or under the sump to join the other side?

Currently mine has 2' pipe that goes under the sump to the Y piece but i'm sure there's a better way to do it..

Any pics would be awesome..

My right hand pipe (2 1/4) runs tight to the block and runs under my bell housing and joins on to the left side just becide the join of the gearbox to the bell housing, then into 3'' mandrel systerm all the back..

My front shaft does touch the pipe, but only just and when under full compression, if u space your bump stops, this can be avoided...
