Good deal, Im going to try and use the y-pipe that came with my Edelbrock
headers, its 2.5" mandrel bent pipe, pretty nices pieces I think...
As for the bracket, I have everything layed out to do it, just need to get
the final measurements of the bolt centers on the A/C compressor (anyone
out there have their truck apar that can give me the distance between the
holes on the A/C compressor or the bracket????)
once I find that out, I can get the final demensions layed out and program
the CNC to make it. Then I just have to test fit, which should be no
problem at all becuase of the way the A/C compressor is set up...
Ill let you know when I get it done, should be in just a coupla weeks...
