I love it!! Sounds awesome. Love the floor shifter too. Putting one in my 52 pretty quick. I ran a straight 2 inch exhaust all the way to the back, and then mounted a Harley fishtail muffler just poking out from under the bumper.Looks wicked, and sounds pretty good, although a little quiet. I have a bunch of old harley mufflers Im gonna try. Will post up some vid soon..
@tyee4u cool man, and thanks! Post some vids soon of yours. This was an old sound, Ive changed it quite a few times since then. Im posting up a new vid today of the new exhaust, check it out!
@vinnieortega I custom fabbed it up myself. They never offered a floor shift option and as far as I found, never offered an aftermarket shift kit. I just made it rigid as hell and mounted it to the tranny using the existing attaching bolts. And yes and no. This car originally had a powerglide in it. But the motor is a '59. So how original is it?? The 3 speed in it was used from 49-62 I think. Just a standard old chevy 3 speed.
@tardzan1968 cool deal bro, mine is a 53 210 deluxe 2 door, original 235 and three speed, just put in a new clutch, brake lines, rebuilt carb. i found a floor shift kit from national chevy assocication for $160, im sure its the exact same set up you have. i was gonna drop in a 350/350 but everyone and their mom does that, i love the stovebolts!
@Gothamauto Oh yea! We all love the sounds of the split six. Still trying out new sounds. I just cut my glass packs open and removed all the packing. Ill record that sound soon too

When you gun it, the exhaust has the raspy tone of an angry 3-pack-a-day Chesterfield smoker.
