I don't see how this can be done without removing the heater boxes on the later engines. Any hints or work arounds?

That's what I did! Ripped that thermal reactor crap off, adjusted the valves, and put a normal set of SSI exchangers on. You will need some earlier heater ducting parts if you want the heat to work as well. I found what I needed in this forum's classified section. Got the SSI exchangers here as well. Keep the original exhaust crap, yours look NICE! Tiny chance you might use some of it down the road. The "header" pipes are a good start for a forced induction set up (turbo). Someone who was looking to go "concours stock" might want that crap as well. As it is a 76 the California crowd might KILL for it... |

So, I've actually removed all of the California specific emissions stuff......air pump, air pump vavle and tubing, egr and associated tubing. I've kept all of it. So yes, a switch to the early heat exchangers and associated extension ducts etc would be the ticket. |
