The exhaust is not anything beyond what you see from the guys running an x-pipe/dump setup except mine goes over the axle into a Magnaflow muffler mounted in the stock location and then out the back.
Getting everything over the axle is not too difficult for a good exhaust shop. Using BMR's relocated panhard rod will make things easier for them.
As for TA's, I'm using a BMR adjustable.

Arnie's right. Tough to tell much with everything on the car. A couple of spacers under the ports, a couple of spacers on the end rails and an intake that sits about an inch higher than normal.
I do plan to take some pictures when I pull the engine out this spring. Actually, the whole engine will probably be for sale as I'm building a 440 ci gen1 small block to take its place. That'll give me a good chance to take the pics I should have taken before I put this thing together.

Don't feel bad. When I started messing around with this stuff you didn't have near the breadth of information to learn from. No internet, no message boards, everything was hands-on and you learned from the guys at the track. I now know that most of these guys were a bit misinformed about things so it may or may not have been the best quality education one could hope to obtain.
I can't speak for everyone, but I've learned what I know from "just doing it" and dropping the dime to pay for an expert's time and advice. I listen and learn from anyone who's had actual experience doing things. All comes back to that hands-on stuff. Helps in seperating the wheat from the chaff so to speak.
If you can buy some books on internal combustion engine theory it would help your understanding of the technical stuff. But getting out there and doing it is still where it's at. We all started out somewhere and knowing nothing.
