RE: 390GT using 428 CJ Exhaust Manifolds
By Walter - 03/15/2005 3:58:28 PM; IP 24.179.60.188
Thanks for the info. I had a closer look this morning and the heads do, in fact, have the 14 bolt hole configuration. This is a numbers matching 68 GT FB w/ Deluxe interior C-6 Auto 9" rear End. Taking this into consideration, I am keeping the big items original but do plan on dressing up the engine compartment (i.e. billit alum or chrome starter, waterpump, alternator, waterneck, brackets, etc). What would be the best option for exhaust taking into consideration the stock nature of this vehicle wrt quality / performance? Currently I am leaning toward the FPA ceramic TRI-Y headers. I understand the stock exhaust manifolds are lacking. Am I correct in assuming the FPA headers will be a marked improvement? Are there any stock exhaust manifolds that have quality performance and will mate up to these 390GT heads?

Also Does anyone know of a manufacturer who produces high quality chrome products or even better Billit Alum products such as starters, waterpumps, alternators, brackets, etc for the FE? I am not looking to radically modify this engine only for cleaner looking products that will mate up to the existing setup.

One more item, I pulled the numbers off the engine this am as well as some numbers off an extra motor I have. Any help in identifying would be greatly appreciated.
