It's great how much space that frees up in your bay. If you don't have a lid already, I would suggest that next. It will free up even more real estate.

Removed my TSP SS ORY and Rumber catback and replaced them with the TSP true duals like I should have done in the first place

I worked on my 3.4l firebird... Fuel pump is toast. Is a 3.8L fuel pump the same?

It is much deeper and a more throaty sound than the ORY. I thought I could deal with the ORY, it only took me 2.5 months to swap it, haha.

Finally installed my 383 stroker! (From the top even!)

Now, the 4 million wiring harness connectors are on the to-do list for Monday.
