    RPM Rust Prevention Magic

    I cleaned my hood of everything to see where it needed work and to plan for cut and scoops. I used ospho. It hasn’t flash rusted for over a year. It got sprinkled on twice. I applied it thicker than I should have so it has texture, but it has protected the metal until I am ready to remove...

    Carpet recommendation

    Yes I did my whole build myself in my garage minus the 4spd rebuild. I used their spray gun. Clean up is easy with just water

    Carpet recommendation

    I put in lizardskin sound and heat over a rust encapsulater. Haven’t done carpet yet as I am out of money for project stuff I can put my hand on the floor comfortably right where the 3” exhaust is so it works pretty good

    AC this is a first for me. Not for the faint hearted!

    3 Inch Exhaust

    It is called decibelX https://apps.apple.com/us/app/decibel-x-db-sound-level-meter/id448155923 Xpipes normally raise the pitch some, but mine is pretty deep. That might have to do with the compression. Almost 10:1 with the the blower and a cam designed to help with the compression and blower.

    3 Inch Exhaust

    And it is the torque that will kill it and how abusive he shifts. So mostly stroked, boosted or laughing gas will be the culprit If I was a betting man I would say axle splines or u joints first

    3 Inch Exhaust

    FPA headers fit the best. I ran 3”, but just because I had the parts in my stash if hoarded parts. Supercharger on the 351c so I might need 3” over 2.5” I had to flatten my pipes at the transmission crossmember for clearance as the FPA’s tuck up so well. I have hooker maximum flow...
