    Vt v6 exhaust

    the other bonus of the red back 2 1/2" exhaust is the twin tale pipes. some ppl have a single pipe and add a twin tip but personally i like the two black tale pipes with out tips. again personal tastes

    My VBsl 1979 V8

    yep it is . When i get the engine ( might take awhile to save up the dosh ) i would like to rebuild and toughen the m20 as i feel like driving a race car with the close ratio between the gears.

    My VBsl 1979 V8

    my plan is to keep the body stock looking, maybe just lower the old girl. Planning on a totally new engine the old 253 is tired and i would love a 308 stroker 355 or maybe even a 350. I love the close raio of the M20 g/box but with more power would need to toughen up the driveline too.
