What is the correct size of the tailpipe for a 1965 Hemi Coronet? Also,can you drop the oil pan on a 65 Coronet 318 Poly without having to jack up the engine...thanks everybody...
Thanks Dako, Being that it is 110 degrees outside,and over that in the garage..might wait till fall on that one...lol! ThanksDon't know about the tail pipe for the hemi, but I just dropped the pan on the Poly 318 in my `66 Belvedere II...without jacking the engine. I can't imagine there is much difference in the mechanicals between 65 & `66. Had to: remove the brackets that go block to transmission (on my Auto); disconnect the trans lines bracket on the drivers side; and disconnect the steering linkage...just popped it loose at the pitman arm and idler arm...leaving the ends attached to the tie rod ends. Just move it forward to get it out of the way. If you have stock exhaust, the 'Y' pipe will also have to be dropped. It wasn't as bad of a job I had thought it would be. Raising the whole car evenly (front and back) with jack stands makes things easier. Laying on large pieces of cardboard really softens the concrete! Good luck.
