Yeh.... But it also came w/ a 4l60e, a NA 5.3, and an expectation of random Joe putting 100k miles on it, maybe getting stuck in his yard and using 4wd for a total of 5min, then traded in...
Lol I guess it'd be easier to leave it than get rid of it. At some point won't you be killing cool air flow to the radiator?? Stick it back behind the bumper, won't get straight on air but still some effectiveness over none at all

Got my muffler today, I have a couple vbands on order so once they get here it should be easy to get it welded up. 4" is very tight between the cab and the crossmember.

Got an idea of where to put that oil cooler, going to be a lot of action going on in the front.

Does anyone use competition engineering drag shocks? They are pretty cheap, have them in the range I need. Im thinking about using some on the rear...

Used em with pretty good luck on g-body's (78-86 Malibu,cutlass,monte Carlo) but they werent hard to make hook in the first place.

Just drill some holes and u-bolt the cooler to the hood!
