heres a little background:
my dad was letting my little brother drive the fastback during the fall...just got his DL. it was making a funny noise so my dad followed him and the motor let go. fast forward to now and they have drug out a 289 from the garage. opened it up and it looked great after sitting for almost 20 years. new water pump, fuel pump, gaskets...the works. well its time to drop it in and dad wants to put a set of headers on. today he calls saying that he wants to do some 70s style side pipes ( think 70s van with murals and bubble windows) and shorty headers. after trying to convince him that itll look like ***** and that he should go LT, x pipe, nice mufflers and turndowns hes still stuck on sidepipes
its a 65 with 289, he wants a SS shorty. what do you guys recommend?
