3/4 Race parts for 65 thru 70 B-body

Kennybill · 03-05-2007, 09:03 AM

I have some of the Big "Ladies," the B-body Olds. Before they repopping the factory S-exhaust manifolds for the drivers' side I made my own. I just told people that asked about it that it was "factory experimental."

I get a set of Toro exhaust manifolds, use the passenger as it is. Drivers' side is cut and rotated, "Nickle" Ni-rod welded. You do have to grind the manifold a bit (can see in pic) and a hair of the corner of the steering box, or put a 1/8" washer between frame and motor mount. It makes it kind of a B-body XW manifold, about as good of a flow as one can have without custom headers. Also, I have a pic of the transmission dual exhaust lever for a B-body. I have made a couple but I found this "factory" one on a 1969 "Hearse" that did NOT have factory dual exhaust, go figure.

I have one more car a 66 Dynamic convertible that I am going to do, if I live long enough and my Kids, (30 & 26, Teacher & Lawyer) stop draining me.

I hope the pictures work. Later, Ken

Ken, I sympathize with you on the money-bleed part. I have a 25 year old daughter that is still at home and costing me money every time I turn around!

Those are pretty old stuff, with all the rusts and all but I believe they are still usable. I hope they work too.
