thank you sir!

PA said they'd make it where you just use your motor mounts. I wasn't sure how we were going to run the downpipe since we never had the motor in the car yet. Gonna have to wait till next year and find someone to make one for me. I hope I have the same problem as you with the bumper Dennis.

 

[plowboy72]

I was thinking you could run a downpipe through the inner fender in front of the shock tower and above the a-arms. Then down and out behind the car. Less bends and smoother ones too. Just a thought.

here's another one: V6 Buick Powered TT Mustang Wheelstand - Car Videos on StreetFire

Dennis, what did your suspension look like?

plowboy, that video is awesome too. The car originally had a 342 with a single turbo and I think that's exactly where my brother had the downpipe.

K-member and trans cross member just came in.

 

[protracracing]

how does the motor bolt to that k-member? is there motor mounts?

Dennis

 

[buickgn6]

Dennis, no motor mounts come with it but they make it so you can use your existing mounts. It should be in the car within a month and just gotta wait to get the motor back to see how well it fits.

 

[protracracing]

so you have to use the stock motor mounts and the mounts that go on the the frame.

Dennis, stock or aftermarket mounts work and not sure about the mounts that go on the frame. My old man and uncle are my mechanics and they'll have to worry about that :smile:.

subscribed cause this is cool... What did the k member and cross member set you you back?

 

[buickgn6]

fastforded, that they are sir.

streetknight, k-member was 500 and cross member was 170. It would've been a couple hundred less but I went with chrome-moly.

Just got the headers back from the coaters. They look way better.

After:

 

[protracracing]

You will have to notch the frame on the pass side, rework the steering shaft and may have to
rework crossover also to use those headers.

Those wheelstands sure take a toll when it comes back down. That car hooks.
