The next classic to be turbo charged

[10secgoal]

Finally convinced Richard here go turbo. He's got a 347 topped with ported Canfields. I just dropped 3500 dollars on a nice tig machine, so the welds better be nice...tell you what. Probably gonna go with about 7 psi. Mine moved well with the level, his should be stupid with a bigger motor. Only drawback is his block. He wimping out on me. Doesn't want to blow it. Eh,
Gonna get the same treatment of a MP T-70, 38mm wastegate and 50mm BOV. Both Tial. This is gonna be my test mule.

Nah, don't feel like building ANOTHER motor right now.

looks real real nice. Great work on that cage.


It looks like jaws took a chomp outta that shock tower though!

Heater hoses in SD? Does it get cold there?

That car is hot...... You running that turbo on a stock block? Bold move.

thanks washMO66

yep, stock block with 347 forged internals so if it does go i'm hoping to be able to re-use some parts

i think i used it two times last year on the way to work and once on the way back from the drag strip when it started raining.

10secgoal and I did the cage (he welded)

I have the canfield heads which has raised exhaust ports like the 351w and also have reducer plates on the heads. those two things threw off the turbo headers and crossover and turbo mount that works with no clearance issues on a 302 with stock or aftermarket heads that have normal exhaust ports. i didn't want to have him make a custom set of headers so i notched the shock tower. i still need to clean up the JAWS marks

i ran twins on a stock block, crank, rods, and hyperwhatever pistons for years and years (daily driver). keep the rpms low and keep the knock away, and your odds increase.

nice car 12sec67. me thinks you'll be changing your screen name soon.

351W stock block is a whole lot stronger than a 302 block (or so I'm told) are the earlier 302W blocks stronger than the late model (87 to 93) roller blocks?

i was referring to my '94gt (302). 500rwhp, 10.78@130 3550 lbs. all STOCK rotating assy (even stock cam).
oddly enough, i cracked my 351 block after only about a season. go figure.

I might of changed it already to 11sec67 if i had a local 1/4 mile track!

10sec67 would be nice...

Ah, I'm sorry dude. I'm trying. I bought 3500 dollars worth of welding stuff and finally payed off the setup time for the first set of headers.I'll see you at knotts for sure. Rich is draggin me up there. Thinks I should be there to talk about the kit.
