Exhaust routing in Vixen V-8 Conversions
Discussion
As mentioned in my previous post, I am restoring my Vixen 2500, and plan to convert to a Ford 302 V-8 and 5 speed.
The biggest negative in my 13 year driving experience of this delightful car was the frequent bottoming of the undermounted exhaust system. Has anyone out there been successful in routing the exhaust system through the chassis, to increase ground clearance? I would love to hear your experiences, with pix, if possible.
Also, your thoughts on the conversion process and/or the resulting improvements or drawbacks be appreciated.
Best, Gil

Wow! Incredible workmanship!
Is that your 5400M? Did you do the work, or farm it out? What is your ground clearance with that set up?
Do you feel the system shown resulted in a performance loss?
We will not be racing this car, so a slight performance sacrifice would be acceptable.
Thank much for sharing.
