\"Borrow\" some stock exhaust pipes for my \'78 (and general help needed)

(1/8) > >>

Mattrix:
Hi all,
This is the year I can finally rego my '78, hallelujah! However, I need to obviously make some modifications and so need as much help from you guys as I can get.

Firstly, a couple of years back someone in here offered to lend me their stock exhaust just while I got the car engineered and rego'd... wondering who that was as I can't find the post when I do a search of the forums..

Secondly, need to make the obvious mods, not sure where to start. Any vette drivers in the Newcastle area willing to donate a bit of time (I have lots of wine that I can use as incentive!) to help me sort a few things out? Any help is appreciated... I'm used to working on old datsuns and am a bit daunted with the thought of working on the vette :)

thanks

Matt

You will register that car with those pipes, I did. Just find the right person to rego it before you even take the car in. I would love to help but Im a bit far away. Any more questions send me a email.

Mattrix:
Have sent U2U.
Am also looking at swapping the gearbox for a 4 speed auto or 3 speed auto with overdrive, just to help with petrol costs. what are my options? I'm going to be doing a bit of a web search but thought I'd ask here first as someone here may have done it already.

I think all you need is a VN (?) 4 speed box (non computer) and modify/make a new cross member.  You'll need a new yoke and maybe shorten the tailshaft.  

There is a website in the States that uses a TH200 and has pics of what to do to the xmember.  Sorry I can't rememebr where it was.
