i worked and finished the exhaust today. Its supposed to be temporary untill i can get to dallas and get it professionally redone. But i tried to make it as clean as possible because you never know how long its going to be untill this gets professionally done. Take a look at the pics and you will see why i couldn't clock the x-case untill the exhaust was worked on.
heres pics of the modified exhaust. Again i don't think its to bad with what i had to work with.
why do you have to wait till you get it back to dallas to get the exhaust redone, there are shops here in town
i only trust one place when i comes to exhaust, there in wiley and the guy does exhaust work for collins bros, so he knows cjs and he can get everything as high as possible and do it right the first time.
Plenty of front driveshaft clearance? Mabey it is just the pictures. Looks like a fairly clean job considering though. :gigem:
There are no good exhaust shops in this area, just a lesser of evilsQuote:

This I understand, just askin a question. Sheesh. :rolleyes:
:flipoff2: You know, I used to be a broke college student tryin to keep my pile of poo running also. Now I am just a broke working stiff w/ a bit more of disposable income tyrin to keep my pile of poo running. :D
clocked the case
-everything went smoothly with the new clocking ring, input shaft, bearings, blah blah blah.
I had to wait untill today to wrestle the case in to its place because i needed someones help. Its clocked about 22.5 degrees according to my estimates.
It now sits at about 19" off the ground. I had to shorten the rear d-shaft about 1.5". and the shifter still needs to be figured out. If i can't get the single shifter to work than i'll just twin stick it.
did you end up cutting a hole in the floor? if so lets see it
no i didn't have too, i did "clearance" it a little with a hammer, but after looking closer i really don't think that was even necessary.
heres the best before and after shot could manage.
your driveshaft looks likes its going to hit the crossmember
I know a great exhaust guy in Wylie if you are looking for someone. His name is Rich, Rich's Performance Muffler (RPM)

There used to be a pic of my scout on his site competing in the burnout contest, but no burnout pics anymore. Anyway, he does badass work and will run the exhaust however you want it.
