have s/s long tube headers that were for the galaxie , i also have a set of steel long tubes so headers are going on the truck. the exhuast is straight with cherry bombs dumping infront of the rear tires . as much as i like the sound of the fe need to plumb it to the back with some mufflering . will get electric cut outs for the hooligan in me , but need to be able to drive the truck to work at 5 am. the engine in it is a 1965 390 fe with a bunch of work reciently done so am going to hold off putting the fe(built much more agresive) i have in the pole barn in. nuff on future projects. 1/22/12 is pulling the radiator (secured with one screw!!!) and doing some rust prevention on the its supports and securing the battery. need to get a nap in this afternoon . the old 97's are playin gthe state theature and i am going and planning on making it to work on monday... will dig out the camerra to document the mod's. also have a sway bar for the galaxie i will try to make work on the truck same rear ends on both.
