After removing the body and the 216 and 4 speed I need some major advice. I want to run dual exhaust but it appears that the gas tank which is mounted on the inside of the right frame rail is right smack in the way of the right muffler/tailpipe.Is there a way to relocate the gas tank or reroute the tailpipe? Is there a rear frame mounted gas tank that anyone sells that could be installed? What to do? Anyone out there done this swap and could offer advice? Looking for some words of wisdom from some low number bolters or high number bolters for that matter or anyone who has faced this problem and solved it. | | |
