It would be nice to get the C.E. ones so it fits perfect though.

I think if I put them there, by your legs in the console, they won't be as noticable, and will still sound good. (maybe).

I also want to get headers, a 3:28 Posi rear end
[Saf-T-Trak=cool], an aluminum drive shaft, a new cam&lifter set, an aluminum water pump, get all the pullies redone in aluminum, convert the rear drums to disc brakes, and get a nicer 2 1/2" dual exhaust with the X-pipes.

Engine choices:
Pontiac 400RamAirV
Pontiac 303(impossible, I know)
I'd much rather have the 303. They're just awesome.
They were limited production factory race engines.
Factory engines-with 525 horse power that is.
But hey, why not dream?
