Hi guys, a have two or three question:

Any of you have tried those cheap raptor turbo mufflers???

Can i use a square port gasket in a round exhaust port head (mn47)???

Thanks for your comments...

you can just dremel out the spot to use the mechanical fuel pump. but make sure its off the engine first... so hopefully you havent put the head back on yet.. other wise you will get metal shavings into the oil pan

Chiquete,

I think you can use a square port exhaust gasket with a round exhaust port head. Maybe I am wrong.

chiquete,why not use an electrical fuel pump instade and mount it in the rear where,i think on your early z,there may already be wires for an electrical pump.i think they called them a pre-pump.my 73 had a pump in the rear.Yes you can use a square port gasket,you just have to round out the exhaust ports with a knife or drimmel tool.did you get your brake problem fixed yet?
