Mobil 1 15w-50 5 quart jug often $25.88 at Walmart.
Mobil 1 0w-40 European 4 quart jug the same or the Mobil 1 truck-Suv 5w-40
for those that want the Diesel stuff.
They also usually have the Rotella T5 (blend) and T6 synthetic for even
less.
I have also been using the Mobil M1-205 oil filters. Shop on Amazon and
e-bay for price.
When I do exhaust I usually plan end up with the torch. This is a bit more
fun after rust busters have been sprayed as they are combustible so the
stuff has to be cleaned and burned off.
The Go Westy Stainless pipes are interchangeable in pieces with the factory
style exhaust. You can upgrade one piece at a time as needed. Their muffler
and brackets are a great way to get better breathing, mount better, and
reduce some weight. I do like better hardware though.

Not that it is necessary, but I'll put a 2nd on what DH & KW have
said & Add that if
You have not already done so, You should Soak All the Nuts&Bolts that you
are going to
be removing on this project with PBBlaster &Or Zep45 Today & then HeatItUp
ToOp'Temp
&Then SoakAgain ~
&Also ~ The NextTime You change Your Oil, Save Yourself some
UnnecessarilySpent
$s & use Valvoline FullSynthetic Instead ~

Redline is a GreatOil as are RoyalPurple & Ams but WayOverPriced & a
Valvo' F'S'Oil
will DoTheJob JustAsWell ~
There are Other Good F'S'Oils out there but I'm just fond of Valvo'
