Gene Adams is my engine hero. After seeing a photo of their turboed 392, I just had to try to duplicate as close as possible. It doesn't look much like it, but his wasn't built for the street.

I asked Gene about that moter back in the 80s. He explained that the Hilborns available for the motor just wouldn't move enough air at high RPMs so he took a set of Hilborns for a Chrysler and cut and welded them to fit. That was the trick to get good flow up high.
