From my experience two years ago, I had the same exhaust on my 68 and the fumes would roll up the side of the car and come in the windows.  I would suggest you run the exhaust the rest of the way back and save yourself a possible headache.

I had that on my 5 liter mustang for a summer and a half, and I would totally agree.

it also sounded totally badass.

Gents-I am not planning on standing still for long jaunts...this car will be DRIVEN and the exhaust will exit with NO problems !  :yesnod: :lol:
IN the mean time- I installed my Gnd cable, fuel line routing and HOLLEY fuel regulator ! Take a look !

I'd consider losing that plasic Fuel filter and opt for a metal one, and maybe a little further away from the Fuel Regulator.

You bump that plasic one and it'll leak.....right onto your header..

May not be an issue, but FYI, NHRA prohibits fuel regulators, filters or other fuel junction blocks within 6-inches of the firewall, and does not allow plastic fuel filters.

25 miles South of Seattle-in Sumner/Orting area !
tHE Fuel Filter shown is for mock-up purposes only ! Thank you for the concern ! I plan on running the fuel pressure indicator where it is shown and the fuel filter between the fuel tank and the fuel pump (under the car) and-yes that one is METAL !  :icon_smile_big:

If you can, I'd put the fuel filter after the pump.  Electric fuel pumps push much better than they pull! :Twocents:

Are you sure you weren't born south of the Mason-Dixon line? Except for the wing, that project could be at any one of a dozen shops around this part of the south. But only at my shop would you see a wing on a b-body.  ;D
Lookin' good.  :2thumbs:
