Could anyone tell me if the exhaust outlet is bigger on the super six set up?
Thank you
So can you open the exhaust out let on a 1 bbl manifold to 2 1/4?Yes, the exhaust head pipe was 2 1/4" if I am not mistaken, however, the exhaust manifold outlet was the stock size. Kinda defeated the purpose. Take a look at this thread. My friend Freddie opened up the outlet on the manifold I am running on Vixen now. It's 2 1/4". He also has done another one to 2.5". I never would have imagined there was enough meat in them to do it, but there was. I don't have a larger pipe on her yet, but it's coming soon.
Here's the thread with pictures.

Thank you everyone.Yup. Freddie did my second one to 2.5".
I bet!!!!: When the engineers came up with the SuperSix idea, they wanted to enlarge the exh. man. for the bigger exh. pipe, and the bean counters said "NO way Jose!" LOL
^^^ But then again, look at all the trouble they went to on the FeatherDuster!!!!! No doubt it gave them some publicity and BS mileage!!??? LOL I had one with the 4 spd OD and one with the TF, 5 mpg difference! LOL
On my dad's which had a 3 speed stick on the floor, it was great on gas, even better when it excised it's cat going over a set of RR tracks and we replaced it with a straight pipeYeah and a freer flowing exhaust would have helped mileage even more! duhhhhhh LOL
what rear end gear was in those cars? Were they both the same?Yeah and a freer flowing exhaust would have helped mileage even more! duhhhhhh LOL

My Dad's was a 2.9x, and it was also an early model year build, having SBP and 4 wheel drums.
It was supposed to have been my 1st car but shortly before I got my license for the 1st time my brother wrecked his 74 Charger and needed a car "right away".... so my brother wound up with it and I was so pissed at my Dad for letting my brother have "my" car..... the few times I got to drive it I loved that car/ even with its manual steering and brakes. I later had a 79 D100 w/a 3 on the tree and manual steer and brakes.....
In between I had had a 76 Charger (the car my Dad had replaced the Duster with for his "work car" for a few years) and I would get so mad when Mom would take my car, to go shopping or blueberry picking, strawberry picking and I had someplace important to go... like work/// and had to "bum" a ride. That 3 on the tree and manual steer truck, cured that problem really quick, she somehow never stole my truck...... when Dad had had his 71 F250 some years earlier I remember riding with her a couple of times uptown to the post office and she never took it out of 2nd gear the whole way........
yeah Dad's was a "Feather Duster". He had a buddy trying to talk him into finding an 833 OD for it and doing the swap back around '81-ish....You mean the Feather Dusters? They were serious highway gears, I would imagine. I don't really know for sure......and I had one. It was an automatic though.

Actually if I remember right they were 3.21 ratio in the feather duster with the OD trans.I am pretty sure the 833 cars all had the 3.55 since they were the OD transmission.
