Cat Converter 4-1/2" exhaust?.

In other thread Xctasy added:

Yow , I've never seen a low-starter 200 in this area and I've looked. IS that standard exh. on early 80's US 3.3 Fox-Mustangs?.. good for turbo adapter?.


also any discussion appreciated:
I've got a similar but 2" out (D7?) manifold with that big pipe fitting the finger is on. Could it be used as wastegate location for turbo app?.. , The exh outlets are close to shock towers (early cars) but there is considerable space next to and above/below starter. Considering fabb'n a short fat close-elbow - more of a 90degree scoop. Exh manifold outlet flange to T3/T4 flange. simple access from below - on lift., room for intercooler in Batty location, blow-thru 2Bbl,turbo prepped 250/200 (?).

I dont know man, internal wategate turbos are SOOOO convenient, but if you must make your fabrication miserable.... 8)

I just plugged these ports on my manifold an I believe they are only 3/4" and that is way smaller than even the smallest internal gate I have seen. I don't think that would bypass enough exhaust and as such would likely experience boost creep and could damage your goodies.

That's the manifold that carried the catalyst. The location promoted faster warmup time.

They also came on late high mount starter engines. I picked up engine up a few years ago from a guy who pulled it from an 81 fairmont. Paid $10 and scrapped the cat for $20
