Holy Crow! The fun just never stops. A 455, yes, that
*WOULD* make the std TR6 exhaust system a *TAD* undersized,

In his sig line is a web address. He is trying to pump the exhaust from a
455ci V-8 through it. The comparativley tiny pipes of the TR6 system would be
very restrictive to it.
I have not seen a cross section of the stock muffler. Good luck with the
project though.
