I like the down pipe exiting behind the drivers side tire. Bet it will sound awesome driving around with the windows down, or you might breath in a bunch of fumes. Either way, should be a good time.

Any idea how much hp you are looking to make? BTW I watched your other build with the SC, and I really admire your craftsmanship.
FWIW I have a friend with a 66 ford pickup. He is building a 302 with a 76mm feeding through a carb. He is hoping for 650 hp.
