Ok I found mountain man on eBay and will be getting a carb from him. That leaves the intake. I found a EGR equipped performer (3701????) I have some hooker long tubes that I want to add bungs to in order to incorporate O2's and this exhaust crossover tube. Has anyone ever done this??

I just noticed that you are working on an '81. Does this year have the ECM, or did it start in '82? I don't know, so I'm posing this question for the more knowledgeable guys. If no ECM for that year, then you can forget what I said about the CCC stuff above, and go with a regular Q-jet.

If you have an ECM, then you will only need one O2 bung. Headers won't pass a strict emissions test, but if you just have a sniffer, you will probably be OK, but you may still need Cat Converter(s). All depends on how stiff the testing is.

Yes. There is an ECM in the passenger kick panel.
As far as testing in Arizona the put wheels on rollers and put the snorkel on the exhaust.

Are any of you running an ECM with your stroked motor? If so is it a 305/350 unit or something else altogether?
