    Hi All,
    The restoration of my white beater 75 lesabre ragtop continues :kodak:
    I plan to convert to true dual exhaust so I will need a correct cross member for a 71 - 76 Buick B Body, Anybody?:Do No:
    Shipping will be to Wa. State 98281.

    Oh and I'm still looking for a pair of rear wheel well moldings in good condition

    Cheers
    Robert

    i have one from a 70 estate wagon out in the shed,if that will fit i'll go out & make sure it works with duals.
    my uncle will be racing at Ashcroft this weekend,so i can get it that far if you know someone heading up there.

    Ken,
    x-mbr has to be from 71-74.......your 70 won't work since that has a different frame.

    Robert,
    As far as I know, all 71-4 full size had dual exh x-mbrs.......starting in 75 they went to single exh due to govt requirements for catalytic converter.

    I will swing by the yard and check out the car for the exh mbr.

    I'm assuming you're just going with duals and not full length headers? The full lengths won't line up with the stock x-member humps- just an FYI...

    Starting in '71 the Riv used the same frame as the LeSabre.
    '70 was last year of the X frame.

    You need to get an overall measurement..maybe one from another model will work.
