IMHO back pressure on a N.A. V8 is not the same issue as it is on a turbo diesel,....I don't think there'll an issue in that regard. So whilst there can be issues with any custom/one off exhaust, in your case, "IF" there are any problems, IMHO it won't be back pressure.

Mind you Pickles, for what it will be doing, I don't think it needs massive performance gains...

It moves!!
Plumbed in the clutch this morning, and did a few other little jobs, I thought it would be a good idea to check the clutch works and everything is ok before putting in rad/front panel etc. All good 
I can start re wiring the engine bay now, and get it starting on the key, Think the carbs need some more work, they are a bit "spitty" when on demand, I may get a rebuild kit for them in the week. Other than that it's sounding good.  Click image to enlarge 80" 80" 86" 88" 90" Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered. |
