Magnaflow X-pipe and aod trans in 66 fir or not?

[66forfun]

trying to plan out my exhaust. 289 block/aod, looking at shelling out for the stainless JBA long tubes. Would like the magnaflow exhaust but not sure the "X" will fit. JBA does offer the H pipe in aluminized so if anyone has experience using the JBA products with the aod trans please chime in.

Dont think ithis is going to help you out but I can say that with Magnaflow kit sits very low and while I have no idea about the size of the AOD it is not even close to my t-56. If you want I'll try to get a side view pic tonight?

Here is a link w/ pic's and sounds clips of my Magnaflow exhaust and x-pipe.
I have 2.5" tubing on the 289. I have a 4sp so not sure about the fit w/ the aod...http://www.cardomain.com/ride/835961

Love my Magnaflow's !!!!

From your cardomain site:

I added a nice chrome overflow tank, the Prestone jug I was using for 10 yrs had to go. Also installed a Wysco electric fan

I'm still using a prestone jug, but I just got a new tank put on my 3 row last week and I was wondering how much your fan cost and where you got it from? It looks like it would do far better than my stock, unshrouded fan.

shakin66, Please post some pics and what headers you are running if I may ask? Would headers that tuck closer to the floor cure the low hanging exh?

ga289stocker, nice ride. not exactly what I was after, looking to use the 2.5" SS Magnaflow kit that is header back including the x pipe. Thanks anyways.

Well I just took some pics of the header collectors and the x pipe and you will see they sit fairly low. Its o.k. though because the subframe connects are going to be just as low.
I put the pics here

Man that little electic fan blows the heck out of the old flex fan I was using. Just do a ebay search. It's a 16" unit Wysco, I paid about $45 to my door, best mod I've done so far. It's fits perfect on the radiator, it seemed like it was made for the Mustang, has a good 1.5-2" of clearance as well on the pulley. My car has never had any over heating issues, I have a on off switch i use, haven't gottern around to installing the thermastic switch yet. Best part is i don't even use the thing when i'm crusin..if i stop for few minute's it crep's up and i just flip the switch and she cools right down. Works great for racing and the stagging lanes too...and i can document my et improvement w/ it..hightly recommend one...

Hey I work for Magnaflow and I have our kit on my 66 fastback with an AOD- I had no fitment issues- (I am also using JBA headers)

In fact I think I might have spoken with you on the phone.....

 

[66forfun]

yes indeed you have, thanks gnn60gt500. I posted before I called you.
hows the ground clearance and fitment of those jba's, are they the long tube SS ones or the shorties?

early or late motor mounts?

How low does the car sit and what kind of ground clearance at the collectors. if any pics are around that would be great, a can of coke seems to be a great gauge at the rockers and collectors!

Also was there any modifying reqd for the e-brake bar like was described in the jba "h" pipe description?
