exhaust question:
i know my car has all kinds of emissions stuff on it and it's an ongoing process of getting rid of it because i dont know whats stock and what is emissions.. so when i took off what i assume to be the stock exhaust it has a metal hollow rod coming off the cat and it went into the engine compartment... well i got my replacement exhaust today and not sure if something needs to be bolted to that or if that can be plugged?

the stock exhaust:

the new one:

"Progress"
test fitted the new exhaust courtesy of Tom (great transaction btw!)
seems im having clearance issues with the fiberglass body... something might be bent but not sure what i need to do to get a good inch between the tip and the body...

and i took out the old floorboard today since i got engman's replacement yesterday as well as the stiff kit (another great transaction!)

i was surprised to not see as bad of rust behind it as i was expecting! SMALL hole right under the dead pedal.. nothin toooo bad..

Maybe a good muffler shop could cut the tips off and weld back on at a more level angle so the tips don't point up. That would give you the clearance you need. I remember on my 75 they were close, but I had a stock rear bumper and steel valance.
Your project is looking good. Keep it up.

Yeah - Isn't the tailpipe clearence "not good" becasue you have a 911 bumper? Might have to fabricate different hangers or notch out bumper.

you might have heard of my recent personal setbacks... but after finally getting to drive the car yesterday and knowing what im missing out on by it just sitting in the garage.. im full steam ahead again!

i broke one of my rules and got unfocused and turned my attention to the gas tank for some reason... so here's some pics of the removal... i guess one of those things you learn the first go round is to remove the gas first huh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

looks pretty clean except for that "shelf" area with the debris on it.. and the only reason it looks wet in the pic is from the gas that leaked

***UPDATE***

so my buddy is in town from College Station and we're prepping for the first engine drop... made a little progress and took some pics

the HE's and j tubes and all that are completely rusted and were held on by a combination of thin chicken wire and duct tape... i want to ditch the HE's altogether so not a huge issue

missing some of the transmission boots it looks like..

front 5 lug suspension is drilled rotors with what looks like 1" spacers
my rims indicate 15x8" and they are fuch replicas

longs looked pretty darn good. hell hole looks like... well.... hell.

will try to finish disconnecting everything and getting it ready for the drop tomorrow and hopefully this weekend itll come out

will follow up with pics later

the heater flapper boxes cables dont connect to anything.. i dont even have the flapper boxes lol...

I FOUND MY TIMING HOLE PLUG!!!!!!! it was hidden in the tin behind the air pump!!!

longs look solid

what all should i look out for when power washing the engine and the engine compartment?

Some things i noticed i might need to replace before putting it back in:
let me know where i can get replacements/upgrades:

- Engine mount bolts are bent
- the rubber pads on the engine bar are all crumbled and not flat on top
- heat exchangers are worthless.. jtubes and all that are all beyond help...
(how bad is it to run without all that?)
- how do i remove the air pump and other smog stuff?

sommmeee progress...
finally got the engine out and in it's new home, my dads shop lol
not real sure where to start on it...it would be cool if one of you experienced guys could break it down for me on the steps ya'll usually take when dropping an engine (keep in mind im a complete noob)

took a few random pics and have some questions as you could have guessed hehe

CAN I REMOVE THIS BRACKET THAT SUPPORTED THE SMOG AIR PUMP?
Attached Image

IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE MOUNTED HERE? LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE CORNERS IS JUST HANGING AND SHOULD BE SCREWED DOWN BUT THERES NO HOLE FOR ONE
Attached Image

HERES A PIC OF THE ENGINE STAMP(FOR THAT OTHER THREAD).. WHAT IM WONDERING IS IF I REMOVE THE HEATING SYSTEM, HOW I "PLUG" THE HOLES WHERE THE (i think) "j" TUBES CONNECT TO THE FAN SHROUD?
Attached Image

HOW DO THE INJECTORS LOOK?
Attached Image

WHERE MY FINGER IS TOUCHING IN THE PIC, IS THAT METAL "RAIL" NEEDED? WHAT IS IT AND WHAT DOES IT DO? IS IT PART OF THE SMOG STUFF?
Attached Image

These are just a few of the 100's of questions i have lol... I really am wanting to rid the engine completely of the added SMOG equipment before i start fixing and replacing things.. does anyone have a list of all smog-added equipment or can they point stuff out if i post pics of the engine? i just want it as "clean" and "minimal" as possible

Thanks for the help in advance!
