1976 Cutlass questions. I purchased this car new and want to start the restoration process. Rear trans cross member is made for single exhaust only. Is there a cross member made for dual exhaust that would be a direct fit. 1974 Cutlass perhaps?? If so would an earlier model Cutlass factory dual exhaust system be a direct fit. Will be using factory exhaust manifolds. I have a set of factory dual exhaust manifolds from an earlier model Cutlass that I think are unique to dual exhaust cars. Does anyone make factory reproduction dual exhaust systems? Any preferred brand?

I need to know what used one to look for 1st. I am guessing one from a 74 car is what I need. a 76 car was supposedly available with a 455, which should have had a 400 turbo behind it. My car is a 350, but has bolt holes to move the cross member back. Just guessing but I think the 73/74 cross member and dual exhaust system would fit my 76 car???
