Lake Pipes!

Post by Logan »

So there's this guy in town that had an awesome high reving v8 astro. But he had no imagination and no mechanical ability. Just the money to pay someone to build it. I had just finished my FIRST v8 swap into my 89 Blue Astro (the one I made money on lol). And Mandi Had mentioned to him that I wanted to put lake pipes on my van---- Long story short; he had lake pipes installed and I was annoyed. 3 years go by and his v8 van changes owners like 5 times and next thing I know it's sitting at a garage down the street being stripped for parts!! So, Guess who got the lake pipes and the rims!!! LOL All for only $300 Bucks!!! He also has the drop spindles, headers and an automatic floor shifter for sale too.

Actually it's a B&M Automatic truck shifter. So it's got a longer boot and comes up (i guess) to a pretty comfy position off the floor.

Here's the rims installed. Kinda wide. My slider hits when fully open.
I couldn't bring myself to install the lake pipes just yet. I had the pipes disconnected from the manifolds but couldn't bring myself to cut the pipe. Esspecially since I just paid like $200 to have the duals installed like a year ago. I have a hard time tearing something apart when there's nothing wrong with it.
