Full blown just lol’d real good.
Well I have duel 2.5” so it would probably do just fine. My only issue is, I don’t have room for an anti-wrap bar with duels.

'86 Jimmy 4in Lift, 40’s, tons, 8.1 Swap- 700r4 said PNNNNN
- Thread starter GWeakland620
- Start date
This is not a dedicated trail rig, but does trailer to the destination usually. I am currently in the planning phase of doing a 52/56" spring swap, and getting back to being more road worthy.
Pulled headers and efi/wiring is gone now. Going to work on getting stuff disconnected off and on the rest of the weekend then pull motor/trans/T-case all at once. Not sure where or how to store it just yet, but thinking maybe build a big wooden cart to set the motor/trans combo on so I can freely move it around.
Also, the Jimmy donated a small bit upgrades to the Crusty ‘83.

Wooden moving dollys from harbor freight work pretty good for holding tranny and t case together. Just one ratchet strap to hold it to it. Got my old 465/205 in my garage that way.
Yup. I still have one that I used on my th400.
Plus a set of $30 engine cradle from summit for the engine. It’d be a lot easier to store in two pieces than as a 6’ long combo

I said unwanted.
I happen to want all 14 of my cars and trucks.
And however many v8s I have stashed away. I want those to.

I’ve gotten to the point where half of it just goes in the trash. Unless I can get $100 for it, it’s not worth dealing with the morons. I’d rather scrap it and go sit in my underwear in peace.
Factory 8.1s had 3" into the muffler and 3.5" out.
'07+ 6.0 and 6.2s used all 3.5" exhaust.

You are killing me today Steve lol 
Yeah I knew they had 3”, I just didn’t know if duals would still require 3” or not.
I ran these Doug Thorley Tri Ys with 3" duals, its tight but it can happen
One of these days you are going to have give us a big photo/info dump on this amazing truck instead of spoon feeding us little bits at a time. This truck is right up there with the best builds I have ever seen.
Thanks Ron I appreciate the compliment. Some day I'll get the time to do a short write up I've had this thing since 82 so it's been done many times over and as we all know there never done.

I too would enjoy a build thread on your truck.
Even if you just take some pictures of it currently and post them.
I like the sound of a single 3" system plus it makes routing easier. I put a single 4"? magnaflow system on a 2016 Ford with a 6.2L gasser and it had a nice throaty sound.
Turbos don't need mufflers...Skip exhaust and just get a turbo Greg.
