Not positive but with both of them bieng for smallblocks I would imagine you wont get the proper flow of exhaust for consistent running.

They will restrict your power output, but you could do it. Maybe you could drill out the stinger a little.

The stinger is the "nipple" where the smoke exits the muffler. If you dont care about the muffler than get a drillbit and bore it out. If you have a lhs close by you can get a Savage 4.6 or 5.9 pipe rather cheap. I'm curious if the header from your smallblocks would even mate up to the picco block. Pretty sure they are a completely different configuration. Good luck!
The .26 will really benefit from a big block pipe, the displacement is mid sized big block so it has to be able to breath like a big block.

Yup, but it has the same size exhaust port as a 3.3, which is nice.

is there a difference between the 4.6 and the 5.9 pipes?
Yes they are the same but you get what you pay for, they aren't very good in terms of performance.
Tmaxxman58, spend the money and get the right stuff, you have a nice eng and your trying to put a pipe on it that won't work. It's like paying a plumber to put a high flow faucet in and using a clogged drain. Do it right the first and forget it.

I understand your dillema. Your trying to upgrade multiple things at once. Trust me - take the time and $ to do it right. While it may take awhile to get the rig the way you really want it you will save alot of headaches by getting the right upgrades from the beginning instead of trying to cut corners by buying multiple cheaper "upgrades". Just my .02 Good Luck!!

How about a THS pipe or Trinity pipe. I have been searching around heard these will do well.
I was told by a lot of ppl that the ths pipe is good but keep in mind when you crash it in the back and bend the singers what do u do. As far as trinity pipe if i'm not wrong it is three chamber pipe and it doesn't produce good pressure in the fuel tank and weak back pressure.
