Yea I agree. Eventually I am trying to get to twin turbo but the dollars are not there right now.

The Trans is a standard small block 727. I just mean that instead of having all of the linkage to use the column shift, I found a kit that allows you to use the column shifter without all of the linkage.

I've been searching for a few hours now and I cant seem to find a great answer. Have a 71 Dart swinger, 273 with larger port heads on it. Power steering is stock and I'm trying to maintain column shift. Its a 727 trans and I will have to use an adapter to cable style. Its a conversion car so /6...

Update!! So the engine has been run and broke in!! My final intake is not quite done but was able to install an intake to run it. I have the Dyno sheet.......Any guesses what she made all motor? Good news is it didn't explode. He also made mention that it was one of the smoother motors he has...

Well here we go! I couldn't wait anymore. Had a big car show this past weekend and I drove it down. It had an exhaust leak and the breaks got hot and started dragging. I couldn't take it anymore. Had the morning available so My father in law and I started pulling her apart! Now I just hope the...

I think its hard for people to understand why i don't want to buy a crate 408 and take the path of least resistance to 500hp. This car I want to do as much of the work as I possibly can. Its been my goal since I purchased it. I wanted to build the motor, rear, interior. Do the swap, build the...

Truth be told, I am a Turbo guy. Turbo Diesel, Turbo Volkswagen, Makes sense to have a turbo Dart! So I may have been looking for an excuse to make it harder! lol

LOVE THIS! Ill make you a deal... Ill build it safe, But I cant promise the driving it safe part!

So TRUE!!!!

I agree. I will be working a lot on the suspension to make sure she doesn't just smoke tires!

You have some very vivid dreams!! You and I are not far off on the purpose. I want the car to be fast from 0-100. I could care less what the 1/4 number is. This is a fun street car. light to light car. therefore the turbos come in quick. At least that is what I'm shooting for. Thanks for the...

I get it......I just cant be the guy that does the same thing EVERYONE else does. I work my *** off to keep three kids and the wife happy. This is my happy. I enjoy the weird and funky. Ive been told at least 100 times I could have spent less and had more power....... To me its really not about...

Alot of where my head is at for turbos. I do want to inter cool it just not sure how I want to do it yet. Thanks for the tip on the parts!

I get it. My whole thought it that I need/want the thing to be drive able. And I rode in a centrifugal supercharged car and it felt a lot like a turbo car as far as lag. I thought it would be more like a roots type. So I decided that if I was going to have the lag I would steal less power and...

I haven't gotten into picking to much of the turbo stuff yet. Loosely planning on two wastegates and one blowoff. Not 100% sure on intercooler. I definitely want one but I haven't started playing with how/where. Thought about a water to air setup. Will be fuel injected. I have a Fast sportsman...
