Who does good exhaust work in the STL area? I need some mods not an exhaust fab up or anything. I want to get some hi-flow cats on it for inspection next spring and a couple of o2 bungs.

Hey guys I am new here and have a question. I am looking to yank the 302 out of my FFR daytona and go to a Aluminum LS. All the local Cobra guys will probably shun me so I may have to hang out with the Chevy guys!

Are there any St Louis area sources for LS motors? I need one out of a wrecked or part out car as I need everything.

Also is there a chevy equivelent to stlmustangs.com ?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Mike

It is alot of fun! It weighs 2400 lbs now and I am shooting on paring it down to 2200 lbs hence the need for an aluminum engine that will make 500 hp!

Here is a video of my last race:

No one I know of that specializes in takeouts around StL. You can always keep an eye out on car-part.com
I bought both of mine off ebay on auctions that expired, then lowballed an offer by email. Shipping was about $100 to a local freight terminal.
