thanks..... montana.......... so i have a question. should i fab up some headers that go 4 into 1 with a 5 or 6 inch wide chrome pipe or have them 4 in a row. i wanna turn heads when i fire the 351 windsor up. what would sound the best. i have over a month before its time to crash and im very close to having all the Major stuff done. ill have time to fine tune things on the car that i dont like... any advice on what i could change or make better, from the pics ive posted? ?

I am going from 4 in a row to 4 into 1's now. Anything turned out sounds louder in my opinion.

Did you build a rear leaf pack and ditch the factory rear shackle hanger? I never liked the idea of that riveted on rear hanger.

havent touched the leafs yet just been looking at them with blank ideas.... mostly because that is where my knowledge about leaf packs stops. dont know much about it and when i ask someone on here they dont give a very detailed discription of how exactly to do it... will they be easy to combine? how manny leafs should i ADD?

DO your rules allow you to add? Flat stack? And change shackles? If so, I would build about an 8 leaf pack or so with every other one flipped over. Make a solid shackle on the front of the springs with them sucked up real tight to the frame. And on the back make another shackle that goes through the frame instead of that stock hanger. If you don't want to flat stack, just add a couple leafs into your pack and redo the rear shackle. I always wanted to flat stack one of the cars, but wasn't sure how high the rear end would be. If its not tall enough, you could move the axle to below the flat stack.
