I came across a dual exhaust for a ‘78 that I want in my ‘80, how can I go about getting this to fit? Would I be able to drill holes into the current crossmember or would I need to replace the whole crossmember with an older one that can fit the dual system?
Throw away the cross member and get one from Bow Tie Overdrive. If you have good fab skills then several members have rebuilt their cross members into something useful.
If you are planning to manual swap the car in the future, be sure to plan ahead and get a crossmember that fits (G-Force or Bowtie make specific ones for different applications, or an earlier one with the two holes can be adapted for a TKX). Don't buy twice!
Otherwise, here's an 80 with a dual exhaust, and no crossmember fit issues.
