I dyno'd a Boss 9 engine down there several years ago.  He took me and my customer out to lunch.  He's a straight-up guy. 

I don't buy exhaust kits any more.  My stuff and what I work on is rarely stock, and therefore there is no sense since I will be cutting it up and modifying it to fit anyways.  I typically buy a bunch of stainless 180 deg. mandrel U or J bends and cut the bends I need and weld it back together.  Just finished a complete exhaust system for a '60 T-Bird.  FPA headers, and all stainless 3 inch tube after that.  The only "catalog" headers I have purchased in the past 10 years came from FPA.  I did purchase a 3.5" Banks kit for my '85 F350, still had to modify the down pipe coming off the turbo, but the rest fit pretty good.

If the bumpsides are anything like the '76 Dentside F250 (last of the 390's) I did a few years ago, it was very easy.  Mostly straight pipe and just a couple of bends.  Brought the drivers side over to the passenger side and ran both pipes parrallel down the passenger side.  Used a pair of "truck" can style mufflers and exited the pipes right behind the rear wheel.  It looked stockish, but definitely did not sound or preform like a stock system. 

Not quite... But I'm satisfied. It reached $7,500.
I was hoping for $8,000 as the minimum, and $10,000 as the happy spot.
Mostly though, I'm almost done with this project turned huge hassle.
That is the big win from my perspective.

I'm more disappointed in the effort I put into building a nicely modified on the inside, but 1966 correct looking on the outside, engine that will not be used where it was specifically built to go.
Especially when the goal line was so very close.

I need to be careful how I talk about this because I don't want to go into a rant, but the stoppage of the project stems from an extreme lack of understanding concerning this sort of work while having an extremely misguided expectation about how things should be.
The best analogy I can come up with is they think this is an episode of Overhaulin... except the rebuilding must be done to a factory correct level of appearance.

I learned a valuable lesson with this particular project, and my nice guy personality might get fooled again, but I'm looking out for it now and hope I recognize the signs early enough to say no should this type of situation present itself again.

I have a question for you.
Did you look at the auction while it was live?
If yes, what did you think of the presentation I made for the auction?
I'm curious what other car oriented people think of how I presented this slightly different auction item.

Dan did the combo do what you hoped?

David Kee and many other vendors have them. Use one of the calculators to make sure you are getting the right one.
