Split exhaust on a 6 has a great, unique sound, and when you pop the hood people in the know will love it. Just an opinion.

Don
come on guys, nothing can beat the sound and the torque of a mad rumbling V8 ,from idle to peak rpm ,i donīt know about you guys but itīs giving me goosebumbs each time i hear one...

the slant six is nice and original but much to sweet and a american classic has to have a V8,even my DAILY DRIVER a 1994 F150 flareside from texas showtrucks has a 302 under the hood ..and giveīs me a smile each time i fired it up ..


can you suggest wich engine and tranny comboīs will fitt relative easily in the 57...?

thanx again !!!
