In Massachusetts we've actually done away with the sniffer test on anything older then a OBDII vehicle (96 and up) so in order to pass on a older car like mine I will just have to pass a visual inspection, that means I will have to suck it up and throw a cat-con on the car. Right now the car is set up or 2.5" duals for the SBC that was in it before so it would be very easy for me to tie the 6's downpipe into the existing driverside exhaust pipe that still has an intact cat-con on it.
Had a thought, I have several throttle cable brackets from V8-6's sitting around, I could technically modify and weld one to the valve cover to use for the throttle setup? maybe get a long 36" Lokar universal cable so that I could give the cable a large enough radius not to bind.
Just throwing some thoughts around like I said any help I can get would be really helpful for me, I have always liked inline 6's so I definitely want to see this project through.
