<VV> 1963 versus 1964 Exhaust crossover

[J R Read]

Hi Lon,

The Rampy sports a LM car engine.  I blew the muffler out about a year ago 
and replaced it at that time.  I had an NOS muffler (round one) in stock and 
ran into a real problem making it fit.  It was an inch or two longer than 
the one which was removed and no matter what sort of contortions I (and my 
helpers) went through, that thing would just not fit into the intended 
cavity at the RR corner.

We put the NOS one to the side and ended up installing a select used one 
which we were able to make fit properly.  It also seems that the crossover 
on an FC is a tad wider (longer? - angled outward?) than the car style - in 
order to make the tail pipe come out in the right spot.

Oh, the vert has the Clark's welded 140 system.
