CSP, Miq, CSP. I'm sure we could cobble up a tubular manifold fairly
simply, and I've got four sets of 1.5" SUs, including some from a '71
MGB. Or for that matter, if we can find a bunch of sand and some wax,

Gee, the M**t* is getting Britisher and Britisher.
What Miq and I keep talking about doing is taking the oil pan gasket
out, cutting it into three or four sections, and then replacing it.
That'd give it that authentic look-and-feel. On the other hand, when
I parked my '71 between three white M??t?s (face it, M**t* could be
Mustang, horrors!), I think I dumped enough oil out the bellhousing
drain port for the four of us.
Now if they just had a real muffler...
Hey, drill a couple of holes in the stock one and I bet it'd sound
just great!
