Oh it's not really objectionable, just a bit too loud. It does sound 
nice though! ANd the shorty appeals to me for it's chassis simplicity.

This car had a replacement exhaust, not factory, and it was probably 
1.75", but a zillion bends. It was probably a lot more free-flowing than 
the factory soda straw.

With only about 5 or 6 feet total length of 2" and a turbo muffler, this 
little thing might as well have open headers, as far a flow goes.


With my fun and success with the TBI I'm thinking I need to move a 
little faster on the new motor, and I'm back to thinking of a turbo, 
with a silly-seeming 2 - 4psi. But that will gain 20% hp on paper with 
torque peak at 2500rpm.

The block will definitely go to a shop, and not my local one. My idea is 
to find someone not a chevy-head and pay them to simply look it over and 
tell me what they think about the block, and the head sealing issue. 
Seems like $100 or so spent on advice could be a huge advantage. Wish I 
knew someone down here that was AMC friendly or at least brand agnostic.
