The engine was a 5.0, rebuilt, it only had 3000 km on it. It was fuel injected. I got another manifold for a carb, and a new carb. I also got new camshafts, lifters, electric fuel pump, water pump. So the car is not stock anymore. For the exhaust i got two 4 inch pipes coming out on the sides, and new cats. Some say that all new cats smell like boiled eggs when they are new. The smell is supposed to go away shortly but i don`t know how long it`s gonna be. This was my very first engine change, ever since i`m 18 and live in Canada(the weather is not really friendly), but i have made it run like a dream. This thing with the spitting is my only problem.
The 4" exhaust might be contributing to the water condensation. As the exhaust warms up water will condense on the inside walls of the pipes, bigger pipes = more water. It won't hurt anything and they probably sound Kewl. If blowin' water on your neighbors car is a problem, I would just put turn downs on the 4" pipes so you blow the exhaust down instead of out.
