| Exhaust, Tires--'66 Fairlane 390 |

Gents,
As some of you may have realized, I did get that 1966 Fairlane 500 2-Door hardtop I mentioned a few months ago. We picked it up for $1000...solid body, never wrecked, interior needed only some repainting where surface bubbling had affected some of the painted areas...and it needed new carpet. Well, it has been painted now--PPG black urethane enamel basecoat + 4 coats of clear. It's also running pretty well, and we did rebuilt the whole brake system basically.
I was wondering what kind of exhaust you would recommend for the 390 2bbl. I will eventually upgrade to a 4bbl, but can't afford it right now (I'm 18 and about to enter college at the University of Georgia--Go Dawgs!). I would like to run some FPA long tube headers and 2.5" or possibly 3" pipes with Magnaflow mufflers...does anyone second this combination? Does anyone disagree?
The 'Lane is shod with 15x7 Magnum 500s...will a 255 70/15 tire fit on the rear? I'd really like to fill the wheel wells up without going to a drag radial, since this is my daily driver. I'm running 225 60/15 BFG TA's on the front.
Any responses are appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe Knight |
