Never thought of that, BB is 2.5" and SB is 2".

Dont forget ...the BB is wider and longer, bigger ports, takes a different route down to the chassis...... just rubbin it in Reserved!!!!

hey boys, i don't need the manifolds, just the exhaust pipes (see above post) ;53 MADLT1 has offered to lend me his manifolds, so I have that covered. I've got a mate that works at a smelter that says he could bend me some pipes, could that be problematic? The main issue is I want to avoid spending anything since it's only temporary and it's not like I need a new exhaust system, I've got the ultimate one as it is. :)

Houston we have a problem... It seems that some bright spark decided to paint over the top of the stickers on the inside of the left door. Meaning I have no access to the date that the car was manufactured. I can only just make out the paint and trim codes, but the other sticker is completely coated in paint. So, is there someone I can contact and provide my VIN in order to work out the date my car was made?

Hard lesson also learnt - hadn't started the car in a few months, went out and the battery was flat, wouldn't even start with a jump pack. Battery was nearly brand new when i got it (mate bought it for his car but couldn't use it as the terminals wouldn't reach), got tonnes of CCA as well so... :( will be disconnecting the battery after every drive just to keep it safe...

It should be a metal plate,not a sticker! that has the build month/year.The vin #, then reference to the corvette black book will give you an approx build date.My 74r(which was built in oct 73 which is part of the 74 model year) caused endless debate whether it was to be registered as a 73 or a 74 at the Motor Registration Branch...in the end i told them i didn't care so long as they would let me go....i was there for hours...it is officially a 74 model and is registered as such..john;41;41;41
