finally got around to posting a sound clip of the 292 with open headers i recorded early this spring.
i know the quality is really bad, i was wayyy too close to the outlets. but yeah.
enjoy!
and enjoy the sweet sound of a sick sick six.
.later days. .sam.
1969 K20 , with a '67 front clip. fleetside. 292, 3x1 offy, headers. sm465 4spd. getting put back together, almost ready for paint. doing it all myself. 19 and lovin' it.
I fired mine up after installing the long tubes and it sounded sick, and not sick in a good way. Yours didn't sound weird when you let off the throttle? Wasn't until I had the exhaust all the way out to the back before it sounded good. Backpressure needed? I don't know. I keep meaning to do an audio clip of mine.
when this clip was taken, the engine had a fouled plug, which may account for something? i really dunno.
-shrug-
its just fun. .
and i'd love to hear a 455 with open headers! yes!

Open headers equals a lot of noise.Tone it down with a set of good glasspacks for a really good sound.Nothin sounds sweeter than an inline six with a split manifold,or headers and a set of Smithys.
U nuts. I like it. I'll have to do my 230 in the 72 when I get it going - Clifford ram holley 390 cfm 4bbl on in side, out bit only has clifford shorties so far. My long clifford set will eventually get stuffed on my 59 as it has a 292.
