With the big block Chevy secured between the rails of the Biscayne it was time to tie up all the loose ends. In today’s market there are a lot of discount, off shore speed parts. Let me tell you, I bought them all.
The center piece of this whole mess was a off brand air gap manifold. It fit perfect and had a bad @$$ look! The rest of the engine bay, exhaust and driveline has all been peppered with good knock-off parts.
Money well saved!

if ya hate the ground now , wait till yer 60 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
This guy does stuff like I would, except he knows what he’s doing and it works.
I'd put a exhaust hanger on the headers because they could start breaking up the welds. it's snow fun when that happens. I've had it happen to me
also they make special clamps for the flex pipe but keep on going Danny you normally do pretty
“You like to do it properly “ lol take another look at your exhaust
You did in one video. What I did in an entire year on my project
Looking good Dan.Im looking forward to hearing it run!
Back in the seventies my one of my late uncles rebuilt a 327 to put in his 55 Chevrolet and my dad said after getting it in when he started the engine with nothing but manifolds he just held the throttle wide open . My dad said my Grandfather went to the window(they were in his back yard were they used a tree to pull and put it back in) he yelled and said shut damn thing off…….LOL
Dan, love the new shop and happy for you to have plenty of room to operate. Love the budget Biscayne!! Can’t wait to hear this bad boy!
this is the nice clean organized garage ..now oh my god looks like a hillbilly moved in.
You know Dan , there’s a name for that type of work on your exhaust.but I won’t say it I enjoy watching .
Great job
Lol, love your bootlegger music! Reminds me of Robert Mitchum in Thunder Road!
Your the first person on YouTube I've heard say you don't like starting a motor for the first time without an exhaust because you can't hear if you may have a problem. I have the same thoughts about that as well. I never start a new motor or even a used motor without having the exhaust installed. You can have so many different issues and not know it causes the exhaust is so loud and even idles rough. Anyhow the biscayne is looking great Dan 👍
I look forward to your videos. You're a good guy, good youtuber and come across as down to earth and real. Thanks for putting in the work to entertain us.
Super cool! Fantastic job!
Ok, After watching a few videos and see how you make what you prefer not to buy, I subbed.
I bet you can fab up a manual pipe bender too? Anyone who can make a 4 door into a 2 door can, I think.
I lol about falling asleep on the creeper I’m sure I’ve done that
Almost there 😁, can't wait to hear it run.
Steal speedo gear from powerglide
I really enjoy this build , goona be a cool ride
Biscayne is looking great ,Dan. Can’t wait to see how wicked the new cam sounds. You made a lot of progress on this video as usual. Thanks for sharing, Buddy. Oh, yeah. We missed Dani. Is work interfering with her screen time?
You get what you pay for & I hope they tested their products before shifting them to America sometimes bootleg products can work if they can test them properly even from China as well
I had a 79 k15 with the 3.07 gear and yes it was a dog
Solid roller. I will never go back to hydraulic lifters. not these days. So much better no break in oil . No 2000 rpm for 30 mins. I learned my lesson.
Dan, check out this 1966 Biscayne with 1500 miles on it, 1/4 mile at a time:

This guy killed it when he played the Lion in Wizard of Oz!
👍🏼🍻
Dude that's half Ass !
El Cheapo X pipe from summit would probably fit and make it sound better
Whom was the blind person that did the welding? Terrible welds BTW
Wow, that's incorrect bro but like you seem to think that what your doing Jerry rigging it is acceptable but whatever man I cannot watch regular folks that had zero training working on anything especially welding/soldering flex pipe together half assed
Almost there! I can’t wait to hear it running!
A few years ago I was dropping a 427 in my Grandmother's 66 Chevelle. I found pre-bent 2.5 inch tailpipes on Ebay fairly cheap. I think around 250.00 for the set. I only had to trim the ends coming out the rear. Fit perfectly.
Isn't that flex tube Stainless steel? If it is that would explain why it doesn't weld as good as mild steel to mild steel. But is still not that bad. And it won't rust out the way normal exhaust would.
Hello Dan, it's been a while. I've been busy but now I can sit down and enjoy your progress on this Project!
And REX is also busy watching the videos. Ad Revenue Thank You
Next
That is going to be such a cool car!! Double takes everywhere
good shit homie
I tell people about your channel all the time. You really should have more subs!
Did the same with a short piece of flex when I fired up my rebuilt 454 in my C10 , I always want mufflers on a new start to listen for noises while looking for leaks , i think the cross joint is Precision brand #369 if i remember right ? Keep the vids coming Dan
Y didn't u just use the hot glue gun on the exhaust?
Great video!!!
Keep on truckin on this one.
