Hy-35/Hx-35 bolt in?
On my buddies 01' auto he's got an Hy-35/9cm, we just plugged an old style VA box up to it, ran 16.57 @84 mph <--not bad for just a plug in...anyway, will my old HX-35/12cm bolt right in to the truck, or will we need to modify the stock downpipe in any way? Thanks...Greg

It should bolt right up. I'm looking into this swap as I want just a little extra top end. I don't plan on upgrading my truck until I have the money to do everything at once (twins, injectors, boxes, cam, head work, o-ring, studs, stacks, tranny). All you'll need is a new exhaust flange gasket.

I just did this conversion. The down pipe from my Hy bolted right up to the HX just needed a new gasket. So that means three gaskets required, manifold, exhaust flange and oil return line or about $7. Made a nice difference in mine.

Really? That's interesting. I figure there would have been at least more top end seeing as how the housing is bigger.
Hey man, what's you number again? I lost it last time you gave it to me. I'm looking to take a vacation and San Antonio is looking really nice.
You coming to College Station anytime this summer? Let me know if you do. I got a place you can stay.
