No no no! Scott, Derek's son is thinking of dropping a 440 into his satellite - which has a 318 in at the moment.

Blimey Derek, I could see this descending into that sketch out of Abbott & Costello, where they are talking about the two base ball players - Who and What. Doh!

Thought it was about time to resurrect this thread and start some updates.

The front suspension bush's and pitman arm were all replaced during November of 2006.

Currently the whole exhaust system is being replaced with a stainless item from the headers back. Not that it's going smoothly though, the collectors have at sometime over the past 40yrs been split / cut and bashed about a bit, so, they've had to be cut off and remade

apart from a hole in the exhaust, the manifold gasket has blown on the passenger side, on top of this, when trying to remove the header the bolt / stud at the rear of the passenger side header has at some point snapped / sheared off. So, thats having to be replaced as well

No pics

as I'm not making or fitting the exhaust. I'll post some as soon as she comes home though.

I would do Adam, too much to do to the house and the other cars though, so I'm just upgrading as things wear out
